6082 Aluminum Round Bar
6082 aluminum round bar is the strongest material in the 6000 series, often referred to as a “structural alloy.” It contains magnesium, manganese, and silicon, which enhance its mechanical strength and corrosion resistance while maintaining good machinability and weldability. The T6 and T651 tempers exhibit excellent strength and machinability, making them ideal for processes like turning, milling, drilling, threading, and welding.
6082 aluminum is commonly made by extrusion and rolling, although it is generally not used for casting as a forged alloy. It cannot be work-hardened, but strength can be increased through heat treatment, though this lowers ductility. It is used in high-stress applications such as trusses, bridges, cranes, and other structural engineering projects.

HSTF 6082 Aluminum Rod Temper
6082 T6 Aluminum Round Bar
The 6082-T6 aluminum bar undergoes solution heat treatment and artificial aging, resulting in high strength and excellent machinability. It is suitable for applications requiring strength and cutting performance. When machining, it is recommended to use chip breakers to improve chip formation. However, due to quenching limitations, some thin-walled profiles may not be available in the T6 condition.
6082 T651 Aluminum Round Bar
The 6082-T651 aluminum bar undergoes solution heat treatment, stress relief, and artificial aging, providing high strength and excellent machining performance. Chip breakers can be used during machining to cut the metal chips into small segments, preventing tangling and improving efficiency. It is ideal for high-strength, precision-machined components, such as those in aerospace and high-stress applications.
6082 T6511 Aluminum Round Bar
6082-T6511 aluminum bar undergoes solution heat treatment, stress relief, and artificial aging, offering high strength and excellent machinability. Compared to the T6 condition, the stress-relief process in T6511 improves material stability and machining consistency, reducing the risk of deformation. It is suitable for applications requiring high precision and strength, such as aerospace and structural components.
6082 T4 Aluminum Round Bar
The 6082-T4 aluminum bar undergoes solution heat treatment and is naturally aged to a stable state, providing good formability, and making it suitable for bending and forming applications. In the T4 condition, it offers medium strength and high ductility and is commonly used for products that do not require cold working.
6082 O Aluminum Round Bar
6082 O aluminum bar is in a fully annealed state, offering maximum ductility and excellent forming properties, making it ideal for applications that require complex bending and forming. However, due to its lower strength, the machinability of O-temper 6082 is poor, and it is not suitable for high-stress or high-strength requirements.
