Aluminium alloy 6082 T6 is a high strength, heat-treatable structural alloy in the 6000 series. Aluminium 6082 T6 offers excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability and machinability, and high strength in the T6 temper. Its versatile properties make it ideal for structural, marine, and high stress industrial applications.

Key Features

6082 T6 delivers one of the highest strengths among the 6000 series alloys while maintaining good corrosion resistance, weldability, and machinability. The alloy’s composition, including manganese and magnesium, creates a strong yet formable structure suitable for demanding engineering and manufacturing applications. T6 6082 supports both precision fabrication and heavy-duty components.

Typical Applications
  • Structural components such as bridge trusses, cranes and transport frames
  • High-stress extruded profiles and plates in engineering and manufacturing
  • Marine and offshore components requiring good corrosion resistance
  • Fabricated parts that require machinability, strength and durability
Forms of Supply

Supplied in T6 condition (solution heat treated and artificially aged), aluminum plate, aluminium sheets, bars, extrusions, and profiles are available. Custom cut to size lengths and forms are offered by aluminium suppliers and industrial metal suppliers in UAE and Gulf region for easy fabrication and machining.

Technical Specifications

Chemical Composition
  • Silicon (Si): 0.7–1.3% – Contributes to strength and alloying stability.
  • Iron (Fe): ≤ 0.50% – Maintains structural integrity.
  • Copper (Cu): ≤ 0.10% – Minor addition, supports strength.
  • Manganese (Mn): 0.4–1.0% – Enhances toughness and strength.
  • Magnesium (Mg): 0.6–1.2% – Key strengthening element in this alloy.
  • Zinc (Zn): ≤ 0.20% – Supports alloy balance.
  • Chromium (Cr): ≤ 0.25% – Improves resistance to corrosion and maintains grain structure.
  • Titanium (Ti): ≤ 0.10% – Grain refinement agent.
  • Aluminium (Al): Balance – Main metal matrix providing light-weight and formability.
Treatment
  • Solution Heat-Treatment: Alloy is heated to dissolve the alloying elements then rapidly cooled to lock strength potential.
  • Artificial Aging (T6): Aged at elevated temperature to achieve peak hardness, strength and mechanical performance.
  • Stress Relieving & Machining Preparation: The condition allows good machinability, followed by finishing and optional coating.
