Maharashtra Metal (India)

The following specifications cover Aluminum 6061

• 6061 Aluminum is, by most any measure, the most commonly used aluminum alloy. It is specified in most any application due to its strength, heat treat ability, comparatively easy machining, and weld ability.
• The main alloy ingredients of 6061 aluminum are magnesium and silicon. 6061 aluminum is heat treated and corrosion resistant. It is excellent for resisting moisture and is strong for it''s light weight. It is easy to drill, machine and saw.

Chemistry Data :

• Aluminum : Balance
• Chromium : 0.04 - 0.35
• Copper : 0.15 - 0.4
• Iron : 0 - 0.7
• Magnesium : 0.8 - 1.2
• Manganese : 0.15 max
• Other : 0.15 max
• Remainder Each : 0.05 max
• Silicon : 0.4 - 0.8
• Titanium : 0.15 max
• Zinc : 0.25 max

Principal Design Features:

• Probably the most commonly available, heat treatable aluminum alloy.

Applications:

• Commonly used in the manufacture of heavy-duty structures requiring good corrosion resistance, truck and marine components, railroad cars, furniture, tank fittings, general structural and high pressure applications, wire products, and in pipelines.

Machinability:

• Machinability in the harder T 4 and T6 tempers is good. It is notably less easy to machine in the annealed temper.

Forming:

• Easily cold worked and formed in the annealed condition. Stamping, bending, spinning, deep drawing are all readily accomplished using standard methods.

Welding:

• The alloy has very good welding characteristics and may be welded by all of the common welding techniques. Gas tungsten arc welding is generally used for thin sections (less than 0.032") and gas metal arc welding is used for heavier sections. Use alloy 4043 filler wire for best results, although a decrease in T 6 properties will result.

Heat Treatment:

• Solution heat treat at 990 F for adequate time to allow for thorough heating and then water quench. Precipitation hardening is done at 320 F for 18 hours and air cool, followed by 350 F for 8 hours and air cooling.

Forging:

• The alloy is capable of being hot forged at temperatures in the range of 900 F to 750 F.

Hot Working:

• Hot working may be done in the temperature range of 700 F to 500 F.

Cold Working:

• Cold working in the O temper condition is readily performed. The alloy is notably less easy to cold form in the T 4 and T 6 tempers.

Annealing:

• Annealing should be done at 775 F for 2 to 3 hours followed by controlled cooling at 50 f per hour down to 500 F, then air cool.

Aging:

• The aging precipitation heat treatment is done at 350 F for 8 hours followed by air cooling. This produces the T6 temper.

Tempering:

• Not applicable.

Hardening:

• See "Aging".

Other Physical Props:

• Electrical conductivity 40% of copper.

6082 T6 grade is of a general engineering specification and one of the most commonly used alloys in the INDIA. Being strong and resistant to corrosion, it is ideal for machining and light engineering. We supply a large variety of aluminium round bar in both imperial and metric measurements. With all sizes, we offer a variety of lengths enabling you to pick a size nearest to what you require without too much waste expense. Choose through the different diameters we supply. Then, choose a length nearest to what you need. Finally, if required, use our free cutting service to get your bar cut to an exact size. Aluminium alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. It has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. Alloy 6082 is known as a structural alloy. In plate form, 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for machining. As a relatively new alloy, the higher strength of 6082 has seen it replace 6061 in many applications. 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.

Diameter ranges from 3 mm to 600 mm

Applications:

• Highly stressed applications
• Trusses
• Bridges
• Cranes
• Transport applications
• Ore skips
• Beer barrels
• Milk churns

Chemical Composition:

Alloy Designations

Aluminium alloy 6082 also corresponds to the following standard designations and specifications but may not be a direct equivalent:

• AA6082
• HE30
• DIN 3.2315
• EN AW-6082
• ISO: Al Si1MgMn
• A96082
• Temper Types

The most common tempers for 6082 aluminium are:

• T6 - Solution heat treated and artificially aged
• O - Soft
• T4 - Solution heat treated and naturaly 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

Weldability:

• 6082 Round Bars has very good weldability but strength is lowered in the weld zone. If welding 6082 to 7005, then the wire used should be alloy 5356.
• Weldability – Gas: Good
• Weldability – Arc: Good
• Weldability – Resistance: Good
• Brazability: Good
• Solderability: Good
• Fabrication
• Workability - Cold: Good
• Machinability: Good
