6060-T4/T5/T6 Aluminum Wire

6060 aluminum wire is a heat-treatable Al-Mg-Si wire valued for its clean anodized finish and easy fabrication. It is supplied in O, T4, T5, and T6 tempers for decorative and light structural wire applications.

Available forms: drawn aluminum wire (coil)
Common tempers: O / T4 / T5 / T6
Processing support: cut-to-length / spooling / bright finish
Quality documents: MTC report with every order

What Is 6060 Aluminum Wire?

6060 wire is the drawn-wire form of the 6060 Al-Mg-Si alloy. It keeps the alloy’s excellent surface quality and corrosion resistance in a continuous coil product, making it suitable for decorative and general fabrication wire rather than as a structural welding wire.

Temper Selection Guide

O — soft wire for forming and binding.
T4 / T5 — balanced strength and formability for decorative use.
T6 — highest strength; use where the wire must hold shape under load.

Key Characteristics

Clean Anodized Finish

6060 wire takes a bright, even anodized layer, useful for visible decorative applications.

Corrosion Resistance

Good in atmospheric conditions, suitable for indoor and light outdoor use.

Formability

In O and T4 it bends and forms without cracking.

Weldability

Can be joined by TIG/MIG; note it is not a dedicated welding-wire alloy.

Applications

Decorative trim and wire forms
Architectural and lighting components
Window and door frame accessories
Furniture and display wire
General fabrication and binding wire

Processing & Surface Finish Notes

Drawing: produced by cold drawing to the required diameter and tolerance.
Anodizing / bright finish: optional surface treatment for decorative wire.
Cut-to-length and spooling: available to customer specification.

6060 Aluminium Alloy: A Comprehensive Guide

6060 Aluminum FAQ

Is 6060 wire a welding wire?

No. 6060 wire is a decorative and fabrication wire. For aluminum welding choose dedicated filler alloys such as 4043 or 5356.

What diameters are available?

Typical range is 0.8–30 mm; custom diameters can be reviewed on enquiry.

Can it be anodized?

Yes, and it anodizes to a bright, even finish.

General Ordering FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ depends on form and temper. Standard sections and tempers can start from a few hundred kilograms; custom-dimension or special-temper orders are reviewed case by case.

What is the typical lead time?

For stock-available tempers, lead time is typically 10–30 days. Custom extrusion or heat-treated conditions may take up to 60 days. Confirm with our sales team at enquiry.

Can you supply cut-to-size and processing?

Yes. We offer cutting, CNC machining, welding, anodizing, and polishing. Provide your drawings or dimension list with the enquiry.

What documents come with the shipment?

Every order ships with an MTC. SGS or other third-party test reports can be arranged on request.
