    Grade 6082 aluminium is a medium-strength alloy with good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties enhanced by additions of magnesium, manganese, and silicon. It offers the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys and is widely used for structural applications. The strength of 6082 has led it to replace 6061 alloy for many applications. It machines well, has good joining properties, and produces tight coils of swarf. Typical applications include packaging, foils, tubes, plates, heat exchangers, vessels, piping, barrels, and highly stressed automotive and structural components.

    Grade 6082 aluminium is a medium strength alloy with a very good corrosion resistance.

    Additions of magnesium, manganese and silicon enhance the mechanical and corrosion
    resistance properties of 6082 whilst retaining a good machinability and weldability. With
    grade 6082 aluminium offering the highest strength of all the 6000 series it is widely
    regarded as a material for structural type applications.

    Further to this the strength levels of grade 6082 aluminium have seen it replace 6061 for
    many applications. Alloy 6082 offers good joining options although it should be noted
    that mechanical strengths will decrease in the heat affected zone. Grade 6082 also
    machines very well and produces tight coils of swarf when chip breakers are used.
