Product Description
6082 aluminium alloy has the highest strength of all the 6xxx series alloys. The alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance and has replaced 6061 in many applications. The extruded finish is not as smooth and therefore not as aesthetically pleasing as other alloys in the 6xxx series.
