Submitted by almetals on Wed, 08/17/2022 - 21:46

6082 and 6061 belong to Al-Mg-Si series heat-treatable reinforced aluminum alloys, which have good extrusion processing and forging properties, as well as good anodic oxidation and corrosion resistance. It has good formability, weldability, machinability, and at the same time, it has medium strength and can maintain good operability after annealing. It is mainly used in mechanical structures, including bars, plates, pipes and profiles, etc. .

This alloy has similar but not identical mechanical properties to alloy 6061. Its T6 state has higher mechanical properties. The O and T4 states of alloy 6082 are suitable for bending and forming occasions, and its T5 and T6 states are suitable for good mechanical properties. Machinability requirements, some specific processing requires the use of chip separators or other special processes to help separate chips, widely used in mechanical parts, forgings, commercial vehicles, railway structural parts, shipbuilding, etc.

6082 aluminum alloy is a heat-treated reinforced alloy with good formability, weldability, machinability and corrosion resistance, as well as medium strength, which can maintain good operability after annealing. It is mainly used for mechanical In terms of structure, including bars, plates, pipes and profiles, etc. This alloy has similar but not identical mechanical properties to 6061 alloy, and its -T6 state has higher mechanical properties.

Aluminum alloy 6082 is a very common aluminum alloy product in Europe, and also has a high application in the United States. It is suitable for processing raw materials, seamless aluminum tubes, structural profiles and customized profiles. 6082 aluminum alloy usually has good processing characteristics and good anodic reactivity. The most commonly used anodic reaction methods include removal of impurities and staining, coating, etc.
