6082 Aluminum Plate: The High-Strength Workhorse for Structural & Heavy-Duty Applications

As the strongest alloy in the 6xxx series, 6082 aluminum plate leads with a winning combination of magnesium-silicon core elements and manganese grain refinement. Certified to ASTM B209 and EN 573-3 standards, it delivers T6-temper tensile strength of 380-420MPa—outperforming 6061 while offering 30% cost savings vs. 7075—making it the trusted choice for load-bearing industrial scenarios worldwide.

Standout Traits for Demanding Tasks

Heavy-Duty Strength: T6/T651 tempers boast yield strength ≥310MPa and fatigue resistance of 120MPa, supporting long-term stable loading for structural components.
Rugged Corrosion Resistance: Manganese-enhanced formula withstands ≥2000h salt-spray testing, excelling in marine, coastal, and harsh industrial environments.
Reliable Fabrication: Retains 75%+ strength after TIG/MIG welding; achieves ±0.2mm forming precision for complex structural parts, with excellent machinability.
Balanced Cost-Performance: Matches 7075’s structural capability at a lower price point, avoiding the trade-off between strength and budget.

Proven Performance Across Industries

Marine Engineering: Decks, bulkheads, and mooring bollards—cuts hull weight by 15% while resisting seawater corrosion.
Construction Machinery: Excavator arms and crane telescopic booms—boosts component service life by 20% via superior fatigue resistance.
Heavy-Duty Transport: Truck bed floors and rail vehicle structures—balances lightweight design with heavy-load capacity.
Infrastructure: Temporary bridge panels and steel structure supports—adapts to outdoor conditions with easy installation.
