Alloy 6082 marine aluminum profile

Alloy 6082 aluminum

In plate form, aluminum 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for general machining. It is widely used in Europe and has replaced 6061 alloy in many applications, primarily due to its higher strength (from a large amount of manganese) and its excellent resistance to corrosion. It is typically seen in transport, scaffolding, bridges and general engineering. "Alloy 6082’s good weldability, brazeability, corrosion resistance, formability and machinability make it useful for rod, bar and machining stock, seamless aluminum tubing, structural profiles and custom profiles." Haomei Aluminum has total annual production capacity of 200,000 metric ton aluminum sheet, strip and foil. It is equipped with 1+4 hot tandem rolling line, 4 cold mill production lines, and 5 foil mill production lines, and a complete complex of fishing equipment.

Aluminium alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. It has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. Alloy 6082 is known as a structural alloy. In plate form, 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for machining. As a relatively new alloy, the higher strength of 6082 has seen it replace 6061 in many applications. The addition of a large amount of manganese controls the grain structure which in turn results in a stronger alloy.
It is difficult to produce thin walled, complicated extrusion shapes in alloy 6082. The extruded surface finish is not as smooth as other similar strength alloys in the 6000 series. In the T6 and T651 temper, alloy 6082 machines well and produces tight coils of swarf when chip breakers are used.

Alloy 6082 is typically used in:

  1. small utility boats
  2. yacht construction
  3. pressure vessels
  4. fan blades
  5. heat exchangers
  6. paper and textile rods
  7. Chemical Industry
  8. general structural applications
  9. tankage
  10. marine equipment
  11. chemical equipment
