6082 aluminum is a 6000-series aluminum alloy: there is significant alloying with both magnesium and silicon, and the alloy is formulated for primary forming into wrought products.
Main application of EN AW-6082: Rolled products for cans, closures and lids, sheet metal parts, profiles, vehicle and machine construction, shipbuilding, conveyor technology. Above-average conductivity, good anodising behaviour, good corrosion resistance. Used for parts with frequently used threads.
