6082 Aluminium Tube
Replacing 6061 in many applications.
6082 medium-strength aluminium tube finds use in structural applications.
Regarded as a structural alloy, 6082 aluminium tube find everyday use in machining and is the highest strength 6xxx series alloy available. The material offers medium strength, which is achieved by adding significant amounts of manganese into the alloying process, which controls the grain structure. In aluminium terms, 6082 is a relatively new product that has replaced 6061 in many applications. The alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance and good anodising properties. Workability is also good in the annealed condition. 6082 is a versatile alloy and our tubing find use throughout industry in various applications.
