Aluminum 6082 tees offer a number of advantages: cheaper than tees built from comparative materials such as stainless steel, the alloy retains excellent strength and workability, including easy welding, brazing, and soldering. Technicians form tee bars by heating and extruding Aluminum Alloy 6082 into commonly-used tee shapes. 6082 offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal metal for use in construction, architectural, and aerospace applications.
