Welding recommendations for 6082 aluminum tube
6082 aluminum tube offers good weldability, making it suitable for structural and fabrication projects. However, it is important to note that the heat-affected zone has lower strength compared with the parent material.
For welding 6082 to itself, the recommended filler is alloy 4043, which ensures reliable joints and good corrosion resistance. When joining 6082 with other alloys such as 7005, alloy 5356 filler wire is preferred for stronger welds and compatibility.
Our technical team can provide welding support and guidance, ensuring your components meet both mechanical performance and corrosion resistance requirements in demanding applications.
Instant QuoteQuality inspection & traceability for 6082 aluminum tube
Every batch of 6082 aluminum tube is delivered with full EN 10204 3.1 material certificates and inspection records, ensuring compliance with BS/EN/ASTM standards. Our QC process gives customers confidence in safety, reliability, and project approval.
- Ultrasonic testing (UT): detects internal defects and guarantees structural integrity for pressure and aerospace applications.
- Chemical composition analysis: confirms alloy chemistry meets BS EN 573-3 and ASTM B241 specifications.

6082 aluminum tube vs 6061 aluminum tube
6082 (EN) is slightly stronger with better corrosion resistance; 6061 (ASTM) is more common in North America with excellent weldability. Choice depends on standard and supply chain.
Is 6082 a marine grade?
Yes, 6082 performs well in marine environments. For long-term immersion, 5xxx alloys like 5083/5086 are preferred.
Do you supply schedule 40 / 80 pipe?
Yes. Stock in SCH 40 and SCH 80; other schedules available on request.
What is the moq and lead time?
Stock MOQ 25–50 kg; custom 100–200 kg. Stock ships in 3–7 days; samples dispatch within 48 h.
The production cost of 6061 Aluminum Tube is lower. However, 6082 Aluminum Tube exhibits thehighest strength performance within the 6000 series metals. It has replaced 6061 Aluminum Tube in many commonapplications.
