6082-T6 aluminum plate Overview
GNEE supplies 6082-T6 aluminum plate - a medium-strength, heat-treatable 6xxx-series structural alloy (Al–Mg–Si, also designated EN AW-6082 / AlSi1MgMn / UNS A96082 / DIN 3.2315). It is the common European structural grade, chosen where strength, weldability and a good strength-to-weight ratio all matter. We keep stock and run processing, and we ship from Tianjin, Shanghai and Qingdao. If your project needs a specific thickness, width, temper or certificate, send us your inquiry and we will confirm stock, price and lead time.
Why Choose 6082-T6
Higher strength than 6061 in many sections, with good weldability - it can replace steel where weight matters.
T651 gives low residual stress, so machined parts hold dimension.
Welds well with 4043 / 5356 filler; widely accepted to European specs (EN 485/573).
Good anodizing response for exposed parts.
Available Tempers
6082 aluminum plate is supplied in the following tempers. Strength is similar across them; the difference is in residual stress and dimensional stability:
T6 - solution heat-treated and artificially aged. Full strength, the standard supply for structural plate.
T651 - T6 plus stress relief by stretching (1–3%). Better flatness and less distortion after heavy CNC machining. The usual choice for precision-machined parts.
T6511 / T6512 - stress-relieved tempers normally used for extrusions (rod, bar, shapes, drawn tube). For flat plate, T6 or T651 is the typical supply; tell us your product form and we will confirm the right temper.

Mechanical Properties (6082-T6)
Values below follow EN 485-2 minima for plate and are thickness-dependent. They are indicative references, not for design - the binding figures for your lot are on the MTC.
| Plate thickness | Tensile strength Rm (min) | 0.2% proof Rp0.2 (min) | Elongation A (min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 – 12.5 mm | ≥ 310 MPa | ≥ 255 MPa | ≥ 9 % |
| 12.5 – 100 mm | ≥ 295 MPa | ≥ 240 MPa | ≥ 7–8 % |
| 100 – 150 mm | ≥ 275 MPa | ≥ 240 MPa | ≥ 6 % |
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Density | 2.70 g/cm³ |
| Brinell hardness | ~ 90 HB |
| Modulus of elasticity | ~ 70 GPa |
| Melting range | approx. 555 – 650 °C |
Exact minima vary with thickness and governing standard. Request the MTC for your specific lot before final use.
Three things buyers look for
1. A specific quality action: thickness, width and flatness are measured against the confirmed drawing before packing; alloy mark and heat number are matched to the MTC.
2. Confirmation nodes: (a) pre-production - we confirm alloy, temper, dimensions and standard against your drawing before cutting; (b) in-process - tolerances are checked during cutting; (c) pre-shipment - final dimensions, surface and MTC are verified before packing.
3. What happens if something is off (exception path): any plate that fails a check is isolated and tagged, re-measured by a second person, then reworked or scrapped - it does not move to the next step or get packed with good material. You are told before the shipment, not after.
Surface Treatment
Mill finish - as-rolled, the standard supply for machining and welding.
Brushed - directional satin finish for decorative or architectural use.
Anodized - increases corrosion and wear resistance and gives a stable colour; common for marine and exterior parts.
Polished - bright or mirror-like finish for visible components.
Tell us the final use and we will recommend the surface that fits, including protective PE film for transit.
Applications
6082-T6 plate is used where load, weldability and weight sit on the same critical path:
Building structures and roof trusses, bridge and crane members
Machinery frames, equipment bases and precision-machined parts
Shipbuilding and marine structures (good corrosion resistance)
Pressure vessels and storage tanks where the standard allows
Transport: truck, rail and trailer bodies
Mould and jig plates (T651 for dimensional stability)
We do not list speculative or extreme-use cases. Tell us temperature, load and corrosion exposure and we will suggest the right temper.
Quality and Certification
Every shipment comes with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC, EN 10204 3.1) showing the heat number and mechanical results. Third-party inspection such as SGS can be arranged at your request. Material is packed for long-distance sea freight and meets common certification standards including ASTM B209 and EN 485 where applicable. If your project requires a specific standard or certificate, write it in your inquiry so we can confirm.
How we verify the plate before it ships
Before packing, every 6082-T6 plate is checked against the confirmed version of your drawing or order sheet:
Thickness and width are measured at multiple points and compared to the tolerance in ASTM B209 / EN 485;
Flatness is checked so the plate sits correctly in machining fixtures;
The alloy mark and heat number on the plate are matched to the Mill Test Certificate (MTC) - no mark mismatch leaves the warehouse;
Surface condition (mill finish, brushed, anodized or polished) is confirmed against your requirement.
The result is recorded on the MTC that travels with the shipment, so you can trace every plate back to its heat.
Cutting and Processing
We cut 6082-T6 plate to your required length and width. CNC machining, surface treatment or other processing can be discussed case by case. Send your drawings or sizes with the inquiry.
Packaging and Shipping
Plates are separated by paper or film, bundled on seaworthy wooden pallets and strapped for export. For long or heavy pieces we use wooden cases. We ship from Tianjin, Shanghai and Qingdao, and we can work with your nominated freight forwarder.
Why Buyers Work With GNEE
Fewer spec mismatches: drawing and standard are confirmed before cutting, so the alloy or temper is less likely to be wrong when material arrives.
Less paperwork surprise at customs: MTC, Certificate of Origin and inspection support are prepared with the shipment, so clearance has fewer unexpected holds.
Small orders welcome: MOQ is flexible, so you can test a batch before committing to a full container.
Predictable timing: 15–30 days lead time after confirmation is stated up front, not quoted case by case after you have already committed.
