Alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance and the highest strength in the 6000 series. Due to its superior properties, it has replaced Alloy 6061 in many applications. Typical uses include highly stressed applications such as trusses, bridges, cranes, transport applications, ore skips, beer barrels, and milk churns.

• World-leading technology and equipment including vertical intelligent storage, logistics systems, and finishing lines
• Comprehensive product portfolio with custom size service
• Commitment to customer value, employee care, and social responsibility

• High Strength: Comparable to 6061 but with better corrosion resistance
• Weldability & Machinability: Suitable for TIG/MIG welding and CNC machining
• Temper Options: Commonly supplied as T6 (solution heat-treated) for optimal hardness

• O: Soft
• T6: Solution heat treated and artificially aged
• T4: Solution heat treated and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition
• T651: Solution heat treated, stress relieved by stretching then artificially aged

• 0.5 - 1.0mm: Precision components, lightweight enclosures, or decorative trim
• 1.0 - 3.0mm: Automotive body panels, machinery covers, and structural brackets
• 3.0 - 6.0mm: Truck floors, railcar components, and hydraulic systems

• 6.0 - 12mm: Heavy-duty transport frames (trailers, containers), bridge components, and marine structures
• 12 - 20mm: Pressure vessels, crane booms, and offshore platform supports
• 20 - 25mm: High-stress structural parts (e.g. aerospace, industrial automation bases)

• 25 - 50mm: Large mold bases, military vehicle armor, and shipbuilding keels
• 50 - 150mm+: Specialized industrial applications (e.g. nuclear reactor shielding, heavy press tools)
