What is alloy 6082 aluminum sheet / plate?

Alloy 6082 aluminum plate sheet is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance.It has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. Alloy 6082 contain magnesium and silicon as the major alloying elements.

6082 aluminum sheet

Alloy 6082 is known as a structural alloy. In plate form, Aluminium alloy 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for machining.
6082 aluminum is a relatively new alloy, The addition of a large amount of manganese controls the grain structure which in turn results in a stronger alloy. The higher strength of 6082 has seen it replace 6061 in many applications.

Physical properties of 6082 aluminum sheet

TEMPER TYPES

TEMPER TYPES

TEMPERS
O
T4/T451
T42
T6/T651/T62
T61/T6151

The most common tempers for 6082 aluminium are :

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

Strength

Moderately high levels of strength are obtained through heat treating to the T651 condition, giving higher strength levels than 5XXX series alloys.

Machinability

6082 aluminium plate alloys in the T651 condition are easier to machine than 5XXX series alloys.

Forming

6082 aluminium plate alloys can be cold formed in the T651 or T451 temper. Formability is better in the T451 than the T651 temper and increases with decreasing thickness.

Corrosion resistance

6082 aluminium plate alloys, in the T651/T652/T6 temper, have good corrosion resistance. Unlike some 5XXX series alloys, 6XXX series aluminium plate alloys do not suffer degradation in corrosion resistance after exposure to elevated temperatures.

Welding

6082 aluminium plate alloys are readily weldable by either GTA-W or GMA-W processes provided that a suitable filler material is used. Welding reduces the tensile strength to 165-200 MPa in the heat affected area. In special circumstances, a post weld heat treatment can be applied to restore some of the lost strength in this area.
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.

Form wikipedia for 6082 aluminum alloy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6082_aluminium_alloy
6082 aluminium alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminium-magnesium-silicon family (6000 or 6xxx series). It is one of the more popular alloys in its series (alongside alloys 6005, 6061, and 6063), although it is not strongly featured in ASTM (North American) standards. It is typically formed by extrusion and rolling, but as a wrought alloy it is not used in casting. It can also be forged and clad, but that is not common practice with this alloy. It cannot be work hardened, but is commonly heat treated to produce tempers with a higher strength but lower ductility.
