6082 T6 Aluminum Round Bar Stock List

6082 T6511 Aluminum Round Bar Stock List

The 6082-T6511 aluminum rod indicates that the rod has undergone solution heat treatment, stretching and straightening (with a permanent strain of approximately 0.5% to 2%), and artificial aging treatment, significantly enhancing its mechanical properties and dimensional stability.

However, for aluminum rods with slightly larger diameters, ordinary stretching machines cannot handle them. Therefore, many suppliers replace 6082-T6511 aluminum rods with 6082-T6 aluminum rods in their supply.

Chalco owns a 12, 500-ton horizontal extrusion machine and a 6, 000-ton stretching and straightening machine, capable of stretching aluminum rods with a maximum diameter of 350mm. We supply you with genuine 6082-T6511 aluminum rods.Quick Quote

Comparison between 6082 aluminum alloy and 6061 aluminum alloy

6082 aluminum and 6061 aluminum belong to the Al-Mg-Si series (6xxx series) alloys. Except for silicon and magnesium, all characteristics are the same. They have very similar performance, so either can be used. AA96082 is more commonly used in the UK and Europe, while 6061 is more widespread in North America and China.

Similarities

• Similar chemical composition: 6061 and 6082 aluminum alloys have a similar chemical composition, with the main difference being the magnesium content, which is 0.6%-1.2% and 0.7%-1.3%, respectively. They also contain varying amounts of silicon, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, and titanium.
• Heat-Treatability: both 6061 and 6082 aluminum alloys can be heat-treated to adjust their material properties through processes like solution treatment, precipitation hardening, or artificial aging.

Differences

• Mechanical properties: 6082 aluminum has higher tensile strength than 6061 aluminum, although slightly lower yield strength. 6061 has superior machinability and elongation, making it suitable for applications requiring easy machinability, while 6082 is used for heavy-load applications that demand high strength and corrosion resistance.
• Corrosion resistance: 6082 offers better corrosion resistance than 6061, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
• Machinability: 6061 is renowned for its excellent machinability, being easy to work with. In contrast, 6082 may require more effort to machine due to its higher strength and hardness.
• Applications: 6061 is commonly used for aircraft, automotive, and ship components, while 6082 is often employed in bridges, truck trailer parts, ship components, and heavy-duty structural parts that require high tensile strength.
• Price: 6061 aluminum is more affordable and easier to obtain, while 6082 aluminum may have fewer purchasing restrictions, especially in certain regions.

In summary, 6061 and 6082 aluminum alloys each have their own advantages and suitable applications, depending on your project requirements. 6061 aluminum bar is suitable for versatile and easy-to-machine applications, while 6082 is apt for heavy-load applications that demand strength and corrosion resistance.

How Chalco Solves the Coarse Grain Ring Issue in 6082 Aluminum Rods?

• Optimizing Casting Process: By controlling the casting speed and using continuous casting technology, we ensure a moderate cooling rate, reducing temperature gradients and preventing overly large surface grains.
• Homogenization Treatment: We perform high-temperature homogenization annealing to allow alloy elements to fully diffuse, reducing composition segregation and refining the grains.
• Improving Alloy Composition: Adding trace elements like zirconium or titanium helps refine grains. Optimizing the proportions of major alloy elements improves the grain structure.
• Heat Treatment Process: We use appropriate quenching and aging treatments, precisely controlling the temperature and time to refine grains and prevent the formation of coarse grain rings.
• Quality Inspection: Regular metallographic analysis and mechanical performance tests are conducted to detect and address coarse grain ring issues promptly, ensuring product quality.

Production Process of 6082 Aluminum Bars

Process for casting 6082 aluminum bars

• Melting: the raw aluminum alloy material is melted at high temperatures, transforming it into liquid aluminum alloy.
• Casting: the molten aluminum alloy is poured into pre-made molds, and after cooling and solidification, it takes the initial shape of aluminum bars.
• Sawing: the solidified aluminum bars are cut using saws to remove any undesired parts, leaving the desired length of aluminum bar blanks.
• Homogenization: the aluminum bars undergo a heat treatment process to achieve a uniform internal structure, reducing internal stresses.
• Cooling and Cleaning of Bars: The homogenized aluminum bars are cooled and cleaned, preparing them for subsequent processing.
• Aluminum Bars Storage: The processed aluminum bars are stored for future use.

Process for extruding 6082 aluminum bars

• Pre-Extrusion preparation: the aluminum alloy material is prepared for the extrusion process, which includes heating it to the appropriate temperature.
• Extrusion: the heated aluminum alloy is forced through a specially shaped die to produce aluminum bars with the desired cross-sectional shape.
• Stretching and straightening: the extruded aluminum bars are stretched and straightened to improve their mechanical properties and alignment.
• Cutting finished products: the stretched bars are cut into the desired lengths using cutting equipment, creating finished aluminum bars.
