UNS A96082 – EN-ISO AlSi1MgMn – AA6082 – AFNOR A-SGM0,7 – AMS 4156 – ASTM B-221 – BS 1474:HE30 – Hiduminium 44 – SIS 4212 – Grade T6 – Grade T651 – Grade T8 – Grade T851
3.3215 – EN-AW-6082 is an aluminium alloy with relatively high yield strength. In fact, it is one of the highest strength alloys from the 6XXX series due to the addition of the element manganese.
AA6082, also known as UNS A96082, SAE-AMS4156 or ASTM B221 is commonly used for trusses, bridges, cranes, transport applications and is suitable for aviation & marine usage and other high-stress applications. Due to it’s excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance it has replaced AA6061 in various applications and is considered as a structural alloy, particularly in aerospace engines and land-based gas turbines.
Most common tempers / heat-treatments applied to AA6082 are T6 (Solution Treated, Quenched & Aged) and T651 (Solution Treated, Quenched, Aged & Stress-Relieved) per AMS 2772 / AS1990.
