 Aluminium Alloy
6061- T6 Extrusion
Specification:-
Aluminium alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable alloy with medium to high strength, surpassing that of
6005A. It boasts excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, although the strength may
decrease in the weld zone. Additionally, it has moderate fatigue strength and good cold
formability in temper T4. However, its formability is limited in temper T6, and it may not be
suitable for very complex cross-sections.

E
EN 6061

TEMPER TYPES:-

L I N
The most common temper for 6061 aluminium is T6 - Solution heat treated and artificially aged

SUPPLIED FORMS:-

Alloy 6061 is typically supplied as Extrusions

Applications:-

M Alloy 6061 is typically used for heavy duty structures in:

 Rail coaches
 Truck frames
 Ship building
 Bridges and Military bridges
 Aerospace applications including helicopter rotor skins
 Tube
 Pylons and Towers
 Transport
 Boiler making
 Motorboats

 ALUMINIUM ALLOY
6082 – T6

SPECIFICATION

COMMERCIAL 6082
EN 6082

Aluminium alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy renowned for its excellent corrosion
resistance. It stands out as the strongest alloy in the 6000 series. This alloy is commonly
used for machining in plate form and is widely recognized as a structural alloy. Its

E
higher strength has led to its increased usage, replacing 6061 in various applications.
The significant amount of manganese added to the alloy controls its grain structure,

N
resulting in enhanced strength. However, producing thin-walled and complex extrusion

I
shapes in alloy 6082 can be challenging. The extruded surface finish may not be as
smooth as other similar strength alloys in the 6000 series.
In the T6 and T651 temper, alloy 6082 exhibits excellent machining capabilities and

TEMPER TYPES

E L
produces tight coils of swarf when chip breakers are used.

T
The most common tempers for 6082 aluminium are:

M 



T6 - Solution heat treated and artificially aged
O– Soft
T4 - Solution heat treated and naturally aged to a substantially stable condition
T651 - Solution heat treated, stress relieved by stretching then artificially aged

SUPPLIED FORMS

Alloy 6082 is typically supplied as Channel, Angle, Tee, Square bar, Square box section,
Rectangular box section, Flat bar and Tube.
