    Aluminium Alloy - 6082 - T6~T651 Plate

    SPECIFICATIONS CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

    Commercial 6082 BS EN 573-3:2009


    Alloy 6082
    EN 6082
    Element % Present
    Silicon (Si) 0.70 - 1.30
    Aluminium alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with
    Magnesium (Mg) 0.60 - 1.20
    excellent corrosion resistance. It has the highest
    strength of the 6000 series alloys. Alloy 6082 is known Manganese (Mn) 0.40 - 1.00
    as a structural alloy. In plate form, 6082 is the alloy
    Iron (Fe) 0.0 - 0.50
    most commonly used for machining. As a relatively
    new alloy, the higher strength of 6082 has seen it Chromium (Cr) 0.0 - 0.25
    replace 6061 in many applications. The addition of a Zinc (Zn) 0.0 - 0.20
    large amount of manganese controls the grain
    structure which in turn results in a stronger alloy. Others (Total) 0.0 - 0.15
    It is difficult to produce thin walled, complicated Titanium (Ti) 0.0 - 0.10
    extrusion shapes in alloy 6082. The extruded surface
    finish is not as smooth as other similar strength alloys Copper (Cu) 0.0 - 0.10
    in the 6000 series. Other (Each) 0.0 - 0.05
    In the T6 and T651 temper, alloy 6082 machines well
    Aluminium (Al) Balance
    and produces tight coils of swarf when chip breakers
    are used.

    Applications ALLOY DESIGNATIONS


    6082 is typically used in:
    Aluminium alloy 6082 also corresponds to the following
    ~ Highly stressed applications
    standard designations and specifications but may not
    ~ Trusses

    TEMPER TYPES
    The most common tempers for 6082 aluminium are:
    • T6 - Solution heat treated and artificially aged
    • O - Soft
    • T4 - Solution heat treated and naturaly aged to a
    substantially stable condition
    • T651 - Solution heat treated, stress relieved by
    stretching then artificially aged
