6082 Machining
A Guide to aluminium 6082 CNC Machined Parts: Properties, Applications and Design Considerations
What is 6082 (L111/L113/L114/L115)?
6082 aluminium is a medium strength commercial alloy that has excellent corrosion resistance.
It is comparatively new in the 6000 series and because it has the highest strength in the series, it has replaced 6061 in many applications.
In plate form, it is the most commonly used alloy for machining. T6 is the strongest of the 6082 grades.
The aerospace equivalents of 6082 include L111 (bar), L113 (sheet), L114 (tube) and L115 (plate).
6082 grade is typically used across all market sectors as it is widely available, machines well and a range of surface treatments can be successfully applied. Application examples can be found below.
The aerospace equivalent "L Grades" are often used in military, defence and aerospace applications.
Main Attributes of Aluminium 6082:
- Medium strength
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Extruded surface finish not as smooth as others in the 6000 series
- Good weldability but strength lowered in the weld zone
- Also good for brazing & soldering
- Suitable for outdoor applications and will not rust
- Does not perform as well when exposed to saltwater as 5000 series grades
