6082
Aluminium alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. It has the highest strength among the 6000 series alloys. 6082 is known as a structural alloy. In plate form, 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for machining. And the higher strength of 6082 has seen it replace 6061 in many applications.
6082 typically applications:
1) Highly stressed applications
2) Trusses
3) Bridges
4) Cranes
5) Transportation tool applications
6) Ore skips
7) Beer barrels
8) Milk churns
