Aluminium 6082 T6 & T651 Plate
6082 is a medium-strength structural aluminium alloy with good corrosion resistance and excellent machinability. We stock it as plate in both T6 and T651 temper. T6 is solution heat treated and artificially aged. T651 adds a controlled stretch after heat treatment to relieve internal stress, which leaves the plate flatter and far more stable once material is machined away from one face. That is why T651 is normally specified for tooling plate, jigs, fixtures and precision machined components, while T6 is used where the section is not heavily machined. Typical applications include machine parts, jigs and fixtures, tooling plate, structural sections and transport components. Cut to size on our saws with no minimum order, and full mill test certificates are available on request.
Aluminium Alloy 5083 - Marine Grade
Aluminium 5083 is known for exceptional performance in extreme environments. It is highly resistant to attack by both seawater and industrial chemical environments, making it the go-to choice for marine and offshore applications. 5083 has the highest strength of the non-heat treatable alloys, but is not recommended for use in temperatures in excess of 65°C. This is the alloy of choice for marine applications such as boat hulls, ship superstructures, and offshore platforms. -- KEY FEATURES -- ~ Exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments ~ Highest strength of non-heat treatable alloys ~ Excellent weldability ~ Retains strength in the 'as welded' condition ~ Good formability -- APPLICATIONS -- 5083 is typically used in: ~ Marine applications (hulls, decks, superstructures) ~ Offshore platforms and structures ~ Rail cars and road tankers ~ Cryogenic vessels and equipment ~ Pressure vessels ~ Drilling rigs ~ TV towers and masts -- TEMPER TYPES -- Common tempers include: H111 – Slightly strain-hardened during fabrication H116 – Strain-hardened with magnesium content 4% or more H321 – Stabilised after strain-hardening O – Annealed (soft) -- WELDABILITY -- 5083 has excellent weldability and is commonly welded with 5183, 5356, or 5556 filler alloys. The welded joint retains more of the parent metal strength than with most other aluminium alloys.
Aluminium Alloy 6061 - Aerospace Grade
Aluminium 6061 is one of the most widely used alloys in the 6000 series. It offers a good combination of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. Originally developed for aircraft structures, 6061 is now used in a wide variety of structural applications. 6061 has excellent mechanical properties when heat treated to the T6 temper and provides good workability in the annealed condition. It responds well to anodising for decorative and protective finishes. -- KEY FEATURES -- ~ Good strength-to-weight ratio ~ Excellent corrosion resistance ~ Good weldability and machinability ~ Responds well to anodising ~ Versatile alloy for many applications -- APPLICATIONS -- 6061 is typically used in: ~ Aircraft and aerospace components ~ Marine fittings and hardware ~ Bicycle frames and components ~ Structural components and frameworks ~ Automotive parts ~ Camera lenses and equipment ~ Electrical fittings and connectors ~ Couplings and brake pistons -- TEMPER TYPES -- Common tempers include: T6 – Solution heat treated and artificially aged T651 – T6 plus stress relieved by stretching T4 – Solution heat treated and naturally aged O – Annealed (soft) -- WELDABILITY -- 6061 has very good weldability. However, the heat-treated strength is reduced in the weld zone. For applications requiring full strength, post-weld heat treatment may be necessary. Gas: Good | Arc: Good | Resistance: Good

Aluminium Alloy 6082 - T6~T651
Aluminium T6 6082 Alloy is a medium strength aluminium alloy that provides amazing corrosion resistance and is commonly used for application jobs that require light to medium strength. Aluminium 6082 is the strongest of the 6000 series alloys. Aluminium t-6 6082 aluminium alloys bring together great rust resistance and strength after many different types of heat treatments. It also remains strong and rust resistant after forming and welding. Aluminium 6082 is the most common heat treated alloy plate from stock. In plate form, 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for machining. It can be found in a number of construction and building projects such as trusses, bridges, cranes, and high quality ore skips. It is also found in highly stressed applications like beer barrels, milk churns and has a huge range of transport applications. As a relatively new alloy, the higher strength of 6082 has seen it replace 6061 in many applications. The addition of a large amount of manganese controls the grain structure which in turn results in a stronger alloy. It is difficult to produce thin walled, complicated extrusion shapes in alloy 6082. The extruded surface finish is not as smooth as other similar strength alloys in the 6000 series. In the T6 and T651 temper, alloy 6082 machines well and produces tight coils of swarf when chip breakers are used. -- APPLICATIONS -- 6082 is typically used in: ~ Highly stressed applications ~ Trusses ~ Bridges ~ Cranes ~ Transport applications ~ Ore skips ~ Beer barrels ~ Milk churns -- TEMPER TYPES -- The most common tempers for 6082 aluminium are: 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, Tube and Sheet. Plate and sheet can also be supplied as 6082-T651. -- WELDABILITY -- 6082 has very good weldability but strength is lowered in the weld zone. When welded to itself, alloy 4043 wire is recommended. If welding 6082 to 7005, then the wire used should be alloy 5356. Gas: Good | Arc: Good | Resistance: Good -- FABRICATION -- Workability - Cold: Good Machinability: Good
