6201 aluminum wire is a heat-treatable, electrical-grade alloy that balances high mechanical strength with good conductivity and corrosion resistance. Supplied mainly in the T81 temper, it is the standard choice for All Aluminum Alloy Conductors (AAAC) and overhead power lines. Linsy draws 6201 wire in a range of diameters and supports custom coil weights, tempers, and processing for utility and industrial projects.
Moduli disponibili: wire, sheet / coil / tube / bar / profile
Temperamenti comuni: T81, T6, T4, O
Supporto per l'elaborazione: Lavorazione CNC, taglio laser, saldatura TIG/MIG, anodizzazione, lucidatura, verniciatura a polvere
Documenti di qualità: Rapporto MTC allegato a ogni ordine
6201 belongs to the 6000 series (Al-Mg-Si) and is optimized for electrical conductor use rather than general structural work. Compared with the classic 1350 EC grade, 6201 trades some conductivity for substantially higher strength, letting conductors carry heavier mechanical loads with smaller sags. The T81 temper (solution heat treated, cold worked, and artificially aged) delivers the best combination of strength and conductivity for overhead lines.

Preferred conductor temper. Maximum strength with stable conductivity for overhead AAAC lines.
Good all-round strength for fittings and structural wire where full T81 cold work is not required.
Softer, more formable; used when bending or forming is needed before aging.
Annealed, lowest strength; seldom used for conductors but available for special forming.
Higher strength than 1350 EC wire while keeping useful conductivity for power transmission.
Good atmospheric and coastal corrosion resistance, suitable for exposed overhead lines.
Responds to solution heat treatment and aging for controlled temper properties.
Uniform drawn wire strands cleanly into compact AAAC conductors.
6201 wire is supplied drawn and aged; further cold working or re-aging is not normally required. It can be stranded, baked, and connectorized using standard utility practices. Anodizing is possible for identification but is uncommon on conductors. Welding of finished conductors is generally avoided; mechanical or compression joints are preferred.
Every order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) recording composition and mechanical results. Our quality system is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Third-party SGS test reports can be arranged on request. Inspection covers dimensions, surface condition, and mechanical verification by temper.
Linsy Aluminum is a Shenzhen-based aluminum manufacturer with more than 20 years of experience supplying the 1000 to 8000 series in plate, bar, tube, wire, coil, profile, and block forms. For 6201 aluminum, we support both off-the-shelf ranges and made-to-order dimensions.
See the blog articles linked below for deeper background, and contact our team for a tailored quote on 6201 aluminum.
6201 typically provides about 52% IACS, lower than 1350 EC wire (about 61% IACS) but with significantly higher strength, which is the reason it is chosen for AAAC.
For conductors, T81 is preferred because the cold-work plus age step gives the highest strength at a stable conductivity. T6 is used where full cold work is not required.
Finished conductors are normally joined with compression or mechanical fittings rather than welding. Welding is not standard practice for strand-in-place lines.
Standard coils start at a 50 kg minimum with custom weights on request. Diameter range is 0.8 to 30 mm.
Custom sizes and tempers usually ship within 10 to 60 days. Confirm the exact window when you request a quote, as it depends on alloy, temper, dimensions, and order quantity.
MOQ is flexible and reviewed case by case. Small lots and prototypes can often be accommodated; larger or standard runs are more economical. Share your required dimensions and quantity for a firm quote.
Every order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (MTC). ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications apply to our management system. SGS third-party test reports can be arranged on request.
Yes. We provide CNC machining, laser cutting, TIG/MIG welding, and surface treatments including anodizing, polishing, powder coating, and PVC film protection.
