Aluminium 6082 T6 plate

T6 refers to the heat treatment condition, which includes solution heat treatment followed by aging to improve strength.

Characteristics: It offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and good machinability. It is widely used in applications that require high strength and excellent fatigue resistance.

Applications: Commonly used in structural applications such as bridges, cranes, and other machinery, where strength and good surface finish are important. In the aerospace industry, 6082 T6 aluminum plates are often used for making fuselage structures, wing structures, propellers, etc.

Aluminium Alloy 6082 T4 Plate

T4 is a condition where the alloy undergoes solution heat treatment followed by natural aging to achieve a stable state. It has good strength but is lower than T6.

Characteristics: It offers good machinability and excellent weldability. It also provides a balance of strength and flexibility, but with lower strength than T6.

Applications: Typically used in applications requiring formability and moderate strength, such as vehicle frames and other lightweight structures in the transportation industry. In the aerospace field, 6082 T4 aluminum plates are often used for making structural parts with lower strength requirements, such as cabin interiors and seat structures.

6082-T651 Aluminum Plate

T651 is similar to T6, but it includes a stress-relieving process that reduces residual stress caused by machining. This gives the plate better dimensional stability and excellent surface finish.

Characteristics: It has the same high strength and corrosion resistance as T6 but offers better machinability and lower internal stress.

Applications: Used in aerospace, marine, and automotive industries for structural parts requiring high strength, precision, and dimensional accuracy.

In general, 6082 aluminum is a versatile alloy suitable for applications requiring good strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Different conditions (T4, T6, T651) offer varying balances of strength, formability, and stability.
