Aluminium Alloy 6082 is a heat-treatable aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloy offering relatively high strength, good corrosion resistance and good machinability.
Often selected when more strength is needed than 6063 provides.
Performs well in many industrial and outdoor environments.
Suitable for machining in common structural tempers.
Can be welded with suitable processes, with local strength changes considered.
Aluminium Alloy 6082 is selected for applications that match its specific strength, corrosion, forming, machining and service characteristics.
Used for beams, frames and load-bearing aluminium structures.
Used in selected structural and access systems.
Applied to vehicle, rail and general transport components.
Suitable for precision industrial parts requiring useful strength.
Specify the temper because strength differs significantly between 6082 conditions.
Account for heat-affected-zone softening in design calculations.
Evaluate coating, isolation and galvanic compatibility for severe service.
The commonly listed Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for Aluminium Alloy 6082 is 3.2315. Treat this as a grade comparison, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify chemistry, product form, condition and governing specification against the supplier certificate before substitution.
Yes. It is a precipitation-hardening alloy.
Yes. It generally offers good corrosion resistance.
Typical uses include structural frames, platforms, transportation equipment and machined industrial components.
