Aluminum alloy 6082 plate sheet is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. It has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. Alloy 6082 is known as a structural alloy. In plate form, alloy 6082 aluminum plate sheet i is the alloy most commonly used for machining. As a relatively new alloy, the higher strength of 6082 has seen it replace 6061 in many applications. The addition of a large amount of manganese controls the grain structure which in turn results in a stronger alloy. In the T6 and T651 temper, alloy 6082 machines well and produces tight coils of swarf when chip breakers are used.
TEMPER TYPES
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
Alloy 6082 Aluminum Plate sheet
Alloy 6082 aluminium plate sheet alloys contain magnesium and silicon as the major alloying elements.
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 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 alloys, 6XXX 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. 
6082-T651 and 6061-T651 are now superseding low-carbon steels in structural applications where the benefits of lightness, specific stiffness, corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication can be exploited:
Machined components
Structural members
Cargo containers
