The difference between 6082 T4 and 6061 T6 aluminum alloys

Posted by xuanxuan geng on August 15th, 2022

6082 and 6061 belong to Al-Mg-Si series heat-treatable reinforced aluminum alloys,
which have good extrusion processing and forging properties, as well as good anodic oxidation and corrosion resistance.
It has good formability, weldability, machinability, and at the same time,
it has medium strength and can maintain good operability after annealing.
It is mainly used in mechanical structures, including bars, plates, tubes and profiles, etc. .
This alloy has similar but not identical mechanical properties to 6061 aluminum sheet. Its T6 state has higher mechanical properties.
The O and T4 states of alloy 6082 are suitable for bending and forming occasions, and its T5 and T6 states are suitable for
good mechanical properties. Machinability requirements, some specific processing requires the use of chip separators or
other special processes to help separate chips, widely used in mechanical parts, forgings, commercial vehicles,
railway structural parts, shipbuilding, etc.
6082 aluminum alloy is a heat-treated reinforced alloy with good formability, weldability,
machinability and corrosion resistance, as well as medium strength, which can maintain good operability after annealing.
It is mainly used for mechanical In terms of structure, including bars, plates, pipes and profiles, etc.
This alloy has similar but not identical mechanical properties to 6061 alloy sheet,
and its -T6 state has higher mechanical properties.
Aluminum alloy 6082 is a very common aluminum alloy product in Europe,
and also has a high application in the United States. It is suitable for processing raw materials,
seamless aluminum tubes, structural profiles and customized profiles.
6082 aluminum alloy usually has good processing characteristics and good anodic reactivity.
The most commonly used anodic reaction methods include removal of impurities and staining, coating, etc.
