Aluminum 6082
Aluminium 6082 is one of the most commonly used structural alloys due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and high strength. As a reliable material, it is used in a great number of applications where high durability and resistance to stress is required.
Here’s why Aluminium 6082 is one of the best:
✅ Strenght is improved further due to manganese, changing the grain structure
✅ Can be manufactured as plates, sheets, bars and tubes, offering a wide range of options
Where you’ll find it in action:
🏗️ Structural: Bridges, cranes, roof trusses and various other parts that experience high levels of static or dynamic loads
🚗 Transport: Parts of vehicles and systems for transport of vehicles
⚙️ Industrial: Ore skips, milk churns and beer barrels
🛠️ Plate machining: Due to its strength and ease of machining, Aluminium 6082 is ideal for plate machining.
