Material Color

Silver white

Material advantages

It has medium-high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability and processing performance, and is suitable for transportation, marine engineering and construction structures, etc.

Material shortcomings

The internal quenching residual stress is high, the quenching sensitivity is relatively high, the cold bending ability is average, and it is not suitable for deep stretching or small R bending. The bending rebound is relatively large.

Recommended description

6082-T6 is a type of 6-series high-strength aluminum alloy. Its strength is superior to 6061-T6. It has excellent machinability, stable corrosion resistance and anodization performance, and offers better cost-effectiveness compared to 7075. It is suitable for CNC processing fixtures and structural components of medium-sized dimensions and medium to high loads.
