VT machining offers CNC Surface Grinding for 6082 Aluminum (EN AW-6082 / AlSi1MgMn), typically supplied T6 / T651. European structural alloy, slightly stronger than 6061.
CNC Surface Grinding Notes for 6082 Aluminum
Soft 6082 Aluminum can load conventional wheels, so we use open-structure or silicon-carbide wheels and plenty of coolant.
