Aluminium Hexagon Bar 6082T6
Buying Options
Mild Steel Angle Galvanised is an angle shaped galvanised Mild Steel.
Hot-dip galvanising is the process of coating iron or steel with a thin zinc layer, by passing the steel through a molten bath of zinc at a temperature of around 860 °F (460 °C). When exposed to the atmosphere, pure zinc reacts with oxygen to form zinc oxide, which further reacts with carbon dioxide to form zinc carbonate, a dull grey, fairly strong material that stops further corrosion in many circumstances, protecting the steel below from the elements.
Galvanised steel is widely used in applications where rust resistance is needed, and can be identified by the crystallization patterning on the surface (often called a “spangle”).

About the 6082T6 Aluminium Hexagon Bar
The 6082T6 Aluminium Hexagonal Bar belongs to the aluminium-magnesium-silicon family, commonly referred to as the 6000 or 6xxx series. Renowned for its versatility, 6082 is one of the most popular alloys in this category. Typically formed through extrusion and rolling, this wrought alloy is not used in casting but can occasionally be forged or clad, though these processes are less common. While 6082 aluminium cannot be work-hardened, it is heat-treated to the T6 temper, providing enhanced strength and reduced ductility, making it ideal for demanding applications where reliability is crucial.
Key Qualities of Aluminium Hexagon Bar 6082T6
Aluminium Hexagon Bar 6082T6 combines exceptional mechanical properties with versatility and durability, making it suitable for numerous industries, from aerospace to architecture. The T6 temper designation indicates the bar has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, giving it improved strength and durability. It’s easy to machine, weld, and fabricate, making it a go-to material for many applications.
