Group 13 is referred to as the "Boron Family" (boron, aluminium, gallium, indium, thallium) and its uses varies depending on the specific element. Aluminium is the most widely used of the group. The link below should prove useful:

How is boron different from other elements in group 13?

Boron is the only element in group 13 that is a metalloid, meaning it shares properties of both metals and nonmetals. It has a unique structure due to its small atomic size and high ionization energy compared to its group members. Boron also forms covalent compounds instead of ionic compounds like other group 13 elements.
