6082 aviation aluminum tube is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy tube, usually used to manufacture aircraft and other aircraft parts.6082-T6 drawn tube is a medium-strength alloy, the strongest among the 6000 series alloys, and has excellent corrosion resistance.
Although 6082 is a relatively new alloy, its increased strength has allowed it to replace 6061 in many applications. In 6082 alloy, we are able to produce thin-walled, complex extruded and drawn tubes.

6082 aluminum tube manufacturing process
Extrusion: The alloy is first subjected to hot extrusion through a die to produce tubes and other shapes. This process can be used for seamless or structural-grade materials.
Drawing: For drawn tubes, seamless extruded pipes are drawn through a die to achieve the final dimensions, ensuring precision and uniformity.
Welding recommendations for 6082 aluminum tube
6082 has very good weldability, but the strength of the welded area is lower. When welding 6082 itself, it is recommended to use alloy 4043 filler wire. If welding 6082 to 7005, alloy 5356 filler wire should be used.
