EN AW-6082 – VERSATILE

EN AW-6082 is a medium strength precipitation hardenable alloy – its special feature: Versatility. Its top properties: highly weather-resistant, easy to machine and form as well as very good weldability. In order for it to develop its full potential, heat treatment (solution annealing followed by artificial aging) is necessary.

Ideal application areas: Mechanical engineering, automotive industry, as an electrical conductor, for heat sinks and in the construction sector.

Important: this alloy is not suitable for the production of complex profiles.

EN AW-6082 applications

One advantage of the EN-AW 6082 alloy is its low susceptibility to stress corrosion. Its polishing performance is also worth highlighting. This material can also be used if cold-formability, thermal conductivity or machinability are required for further processing.

Application areas

Moulds (cold dimensions)

Turned billets

We can produce all diameters between 140 - 1080 mm.

Mechanical properties

There is no standard for cast round rods (cast billets / bolts) that defines mechanical properties. A Brinell hardness in the homogenised state of approx. 46 HBW can be named as a guideline for cast material. The homogenised state (=„O3“ according to EN515) is comparable in strength with the annealed state (=„O“) for extruded products. The final strength is essentially adjusted by the reshaping process and/or the heat treatments by our customers.
