Aluminum alloy wire is a drawn or rolled metal wire product made from wrought aluminum alloys. It combines the inherent advantages of aluminum — light weight, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity — with alloy-specific properties such as high strength, formability, or weldability depending on the alloy series selected.
Linsy produces aluminum wire across the full 1000–8000 series spectrum. Wire is available in coils, on spools, or cut to straight lengths. Common diameters range from 0.8 mm to 20 mm, with custom sizes and coil weights available on request. Typical applications include electrical conductors, fasteners (rivets, screws, nuts), welding filler wire, aerospace structural components, marine hardware, and automotive parts.
Linsy supplies aluminum alloy wire in seven alloy families. Each series is suited to different applications based on its strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and formability profile.

Selecting the right temper for your aluminum wire depends on the forming operation, strength requirements, and whether the part will receive heat treatment after forming. Use the table below as a quick reference.

|---|---|---|
| Electrical conductors (overhead/underground) | 1000 (1350, 1050) | H14, H19 |

1000 series aluminum wire (particularly 1350 and 1050) offers electrical conductivity of approximately 61–62% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard). While lower than copper, aluminum’s lower density means an aluminum conductor can carry the same current as a copper conductor at roughly half the weight. This is why aluminum is the dominant material for overhead power transmission cables and is increasingly specified for automotive and aerospace wiring harnesses.
Aluminum naturally forms a thin, protective oxide layer in air that provides good corrosion resistance without coatings. 5000 series alloys (5052, 5056, 5083) offer the best corrosion resistance of all wrought aluminum families, making them the standard choice for marine fasteners and offshore hardware. 6000 series alloys also provide good corrosion resistance with the added benefit of heat-treatable strength.
Aluminum wire is approximately one-third the density of steel (2.7 g/cm³ vs 7.85 g/cm³). Heat-treated 7000 series wire (7075-T6) can achieve tensile strength over 570 MPa, rivaling mild steel while weighing 65% less. This makes aluminum wire the material of choice for aerospace fasteners and weight-critical structural components.
In O-temper (fully annealed) condition, most aluminum alloy wires are highly formable and suitable for cold heading, swaging, and bending operations. Work-hardening alloys (1000, 3000, 5000) increase in strength during cold working, while heat-treatable alloys (2000, 6000, 7000) can be formed in the solution-treated or annealed condition and then aged to full strength. 4000 series filler wire is designed for melting, not mechanical forming.
Aluminum alloy wire is used across industries where light weight, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity matter. Below are the primary application categories and the alloy series typically specified for each.
| Application | Typical Alloys | Why Aluminum Wire? |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical conductors & cables | 1050, 1060, 1070, 1350 | High conductivity (61–62% IACS), light weight |
| Overhead transmission lines | 1350, 6201 | High strength + conductivity for long spans |
| Rivets & fasteners (aerospace) | 2017, 2024, 7075 | Maximum strength-to-weight ratio |
| Rivets & fasteners (marine) | 5052, 5056, 5083 | Excellent seawater corrosion resistance |
| Rivets & fasteners (general) | 3003, 6061 | Good balance of strength and cost |
| Screws, nuts, bolts (machined) | 2011, 6026, 6061 | Free-machining grades for high-volume production |
| Welding filler wire (MIG/TIG) | 4043, 5356, 5056 | Correct metallurgical match to base alloy |
| Brazing filler wire | 4005, 4047 | Low melting point, good flow |
| Springs & clips | 3003, 5052 | Good spring-back, corrosion resistance |
| Części samochodowe | 6013, 6061 | Heat-treatable strength, formability |
| Aerospace structural wiring | 2024, 7075 | High strength, fatigue resistance |
Aluminum wire can be supplied in multiple forms to suit downstream manufacturing processes. Linsy offers the following processing options:
Important note: Aluminum wire intended for cold heading or rivet forming is typically supplied in O-temper or solution-treated condition. The wire work-hardens during forming. Heat-treatable alloys (2000, 6000, 7000) should be aged after forming to achieve full strength. Non-heat-treatable alloys (1000, 3000, 5000) gain strength only through cold work and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment.
Every shipment of aluminum wire from Linsy includes a Material Test Certificate (MTC) that documents the following:
Additional quality documentation is available on request:
Linsy operates under ISO 9001 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management, and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management systems.

Minimum order quantities vary by alloy and diameter. General-purpose alloys (1000, 3000, 6000 series) typically have lower MOQs than aerospace-specification alloys (2000, 7000 series). Contact us with your alloy and diameter for a specific MOQ quote.
Diameters below 0.8 mm may be available for certain alloys. This often requires special tooling and has a higher minimum order quantity. Contact our sales team to discuss your requirements.
H14 is a strain-hardened temper (1/2 hard) used on non-heat-treatable alloys like 1000, 3000, and 5000 series. T6 is a solution heat-treated and artificially aged temper used on heat-treatable alloys like 2000, 6000, and 7000 series. H-temper alloys gain strength only through cold work; T-temper alloys gain strength through precipitation hardening.
Yes. We supply 4000 series (4043, 4047) and 5000 series (5356, 5056) wire as welding filler material. Filler wire is supplied clean, degreased, and layer-wound for consistent MIG and TIG feeding. Diameters typically 0.8–6 mm.
Yes. 5000 series alloys (5052, 5056, 5083) offer excellent corrosion resistance in marine and industrial atmospheres. They are the standard choice for marine fasteners, offshore hardware, and coastal infrastructure. Other series (1000, 3000, 6000) also have good atmospheric corrosion resistance.
Yes. Most aluminum alloys can be anodized, though the quality of the anodic coating varies by alloy. 5000 and 6000 series produce the best anodized finishes. 2000 and 7000 series alloys (high copper/zinc content) may produce darker or less uniform anodized coatings.
Selection depends on three factors: required strength, corrosion environment, and whether heat treatment after forming is feasible. For maximum strength (aerospace), choose 2024 or 7075. For corrosion resistance (marine), choose 5052 or 5056. For general-purpose, choose 3003 or 6061. Contact our engineers for application-specific guidance.
Our team typically provides quotations within 24 hours for standard alloys and sizes. Custom or non-standard specifications may require additional lead time for pricing.
Lead times depend on alloy, quantity, and current production schedules. Typical custom lead time is 10–60 days. Stock items may ship sooner. We confirm lead times at the quotation stage.
Every order ships with a Material Test Certificate (MTC) documenting alloy, temper, chemical composition, and mechanical properties. Third-party SGS test reports are available on request.
Wire is supplied in coils, on spools, or as straight lengths depending on your requirements. Export packaging includes protective wrapping, moisture-proof measures, and wooden crates or pallets suitable for ocean freight.
Custom specifications may be possible depending on the alloy and quantity. Contact our engineering team to discuss your specific requirements. Please note that custom alloy modifications typically require higher minimum order quantities.
