How is aluminum strip formed?
6082 aluminum strip is a deep-processed product. It is made of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy raw materials through cast-rolled aluminum coils and hot-rolled aluminum coils. The slitting machine longitudinally slits aluminum strips of different widths.

6082 aluminum strip belongs to the 6000 series (Al-Mg-Si) alloy. It is an aluminum alloy capable of heat treatment and strengthening. It has medium strength and good welding performance and corrosion resistance. It is mainly used in transportation and structural engineering industries.
6082 aluminum strip is a common type of 6000 series aluminum strip. Depending on the alloying elements added, there are also common 1000, 3000, 5000, and 8000 series aluminum strips.
6082 al strip chemical composition:
| Alloy | Si | Fe | Cu | Mn | Mg | Cr | Zn | Ti | Ni | Others | Al |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6082 | 0.70-1.3 | 0.50 | 0.10 | 0.4-1.0 | 0.10-0.50 | 0.25 | 0.20 | 0.1 | - | ≤0.05 | Remainder |
What is the difference between 6061 and 6082 strip?

||
|---|---|---|
| AW-alloy | 6082 | 6061 |
| Temper | H111、H112、T4 | H111, H112, H32, H34, H36, H38, T4, T6 |
| Added metal | Al Mn Si | Al Mg Cu Si |
| Aluminum strip strength | 6082 has added alloy manganese element, which has higher strength than 6061 aluminum strip. | |
| Welding performance | 6082 aluminum strip has good weldability, but the strength of the welding area will be reduced, which is better for 6061. | |
Processing technology of aluminum strip
The aluminum strip is formed by cutting, and the main processing equipment used is a slitting unit, which is used to cut aluminum coils or aluminum alloy sheets. The manufacturer can divide it into the required length and width according to the needs of customers.
