6082 Aluminium

6082 Aluminium is a medium-strength alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it highly suitable for structural applications. It belongs to the 6000 series of aluminium alloys, which are alloyed with magnesium and silicon. It is one of the strongest alloys in this series and is widely used in engineering and construction applications where high strength and durability are essential. With good machining properties, weldability, and anodizing potential, 6082 Aluminium is ideal for trusses, cranes, bridges, and transport components.

Solitaire Steel & Engineering LLP, located in Khetwadi, Mumbai, India, is a trusted supplier and exporter of 6082 Aluminium products, including sheets, plates, tubes, pipes, bars, angles, channels, and fittings. We specialize in delivering high-quality materials that meet international standards, ensuring reliability in a variety of applications.
