Alloy 6082 is typically supplied as plate and sheet from WILKE it is an aluminum primarily alloyed with silicon and manganese. The addition of manganese controls the grain structure which in turn results in a stronger alloy. The most common tempers for 6082 aluminum are O, T4, T6 and T651 and 6082 is slightly higher mechanical properties in the T6 condition when bending or forming. Xiongshi Aluminum alloy 6082 also corresponds to DIN 3.2315, EN AW-6082 and AA6082 standard designations and specifications but may not be a direct equivalent.

Applications
Typical material properties for 6082 aluminum alloy include weldability, brazability, solderability se well as machinability. Besides, alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. So various commercial joining methods (welding, brazing, etc.) can be easily applied to 6082 alloy. Since 6082 is a heat treatable alloy, strength will be reduced in the weld region. 6082 aluminum sheet and plate are typically formed by rolling. Wilke offers alloy 6082 plate and sheet for highly stressed applications includes trusses, bridges, cranes, transport applications as well as mould.
