In plate form, 6082 is the alloy most commonly used for general machining. It is widely used in Europe and has replaced 6061 alloy in many applications, primarily due to its higher strength (from a large amount of manganese) and its excellent resistance to corrosion. It is typically seen in transport, scaffolding, bridges and general engineering.

Alloy 6082 is a medium strength alloy with excellent corrosion resistance. Alloy 6082 has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloy. Due to the higher strength of Alloy 6082 it has replaced Alloy 6061 in many applications. Alloy 6082 is typically used in highly stressed applications, Trusses, Bridges, Cranes, Transport applications, Ore Skips, Beer Barrels, Milk churns.
Alloy 6082 offers similar, but not equivalent, physical characteristics to 6061 alloy, and slightly higher mechanical properties in the -T6 condition. It has good finishing characteristics and responds well to the most common anodic coatings (i.e., clear, clear and dye, hardcoat).
Various commercial joining methods (e.g., welding, brazing, etc.) can be applied to alloy 6082; however, heat treatment may reduce strength in the weld region. It provides good machinability in the -T5 and -T6 tempers, but chip breakers or special machining techniques (e.g., peck drilling) are recommended for improving chip formation.
The -0 or -T4 temper is recommended when bending or forming alloy 6082. It can also be difficult to produce thin walled extrusion shapes in 6082 alloy, so -T6 temper may not be available due to alloy quenching limitations.
