EN AW-6082 T6
EN AW-6082 T6 – EXTRA VERSATILE
EN AW-6082 is a medium strength precipitation hardenable alloy – its special feature: Extra versatility. A T6 heat treatment has already been carried out at LEICHTMETALL in accordance with the highest quality standards. Therefore, the bolts are suitable for direct use after mechanical processing. We recommend our standard EN AW-6082 alloy in its „03“ condition for forming processes. EN AW 6082 T6 is very resistant to weathering. Its applications include the automotive industry, as an electrical conductor, for heat sinks and in the construction sector. It is not suitable for the production of complex profiles.
EN AW-6082 T6 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.

Turned billets
Our T6 billets are machined to the desired diameter and can optionally be subjected to ultrasonic inspection. As standard, we manufacture T6 billets in diameters of 250mm - 580mm and in lengths of 1,000mm, 1,250mm, 1,500mm and 2,000m. For larger quantities, smaller diameters up to min. 140 mm, larger diameters up to max. 700 mm or other billet lengths are available on request
Mechanical properties
There is no standard for cast round rods (cast billets / bolts) that defines mechanical properties. We offer here cast and homogenised billets, which undergo at the final stage a T6 Heat treatment (solution annealing and progressive ageing treatment).
With regard to the mechanical parameters, we orientate ourselves on the EN 755-2 (mechanical parameters for extruded billets, round rods and profile). This Norm relates only to diameter up to 250 mm. There is a tendency for the achievable hardness to decrease as the diameter increases. Our guaranteed minimum values can be seen in the following table.
| Diameter (mm*) | RP0,2 (MPa) | Rm (MPa) | A 5,65 | Hardness (HB) |
| up to 300 | 270 | 300 | 4 | 100 |
| up to 360 | 245 | 280 | 4 | 90 |
| up to 400 | 240 | 270 | 3 | 90 |
| up to 420 | 220 | 265 | 3 | 85 |
| up to 500 | 200 | 240 | 5 | 75 |
| up to 580** | 180 | 230 | 4 | 70 |
