(The chemical composition of aluminium and aluminium alloys is supplied in percentage by mass. Limits are expressed as a maximum unless shown as a range or a minimum)

Aluminium alloy 6082 is a high strength alloy, the highest of the 6000 alloys, most commonly used for machining. Generally not suitable for anodizing.

Applications

Alloy 6082 can be typically seen in transport, scaffolding, Bridges and general engineering due to its high strength.

* Properties given are typical and should only be used for comparisons of alloys. Actual values will depend on section specification.

** Aerospace materials are covered by the ‘L’ series of British standards.
