Out of all of the 6000 series alloys, Aluminum 6082 has the highest strength; it features a large amount of manganese, helping to control its grain and making it the preferred choice for architects and design engineers for angles in demanding, high-stress applications, including bridges, trusses, and other structures. Its exceptional corrosion resistance and workability make it an outstanding choice for outdoor applications that must withstand the elements. Aluminum Alloy 6082 is extremely workable: it features good brazeability, solderability, and weldability to fulfill nearly any customer specification. Continental Steel offers 6082 in angles, in addition to other forms.
