6061 aluminum wire is a heat-treatable, versatile product that offers good strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability. It is used for welding filler, fasteners, and formed mechanical parts where consistent quality matters.
Available forms: wire / spool / coil
Common tempers: O / T4 / T6 / T651
Processing support: drawing / spooling / straightening
Quality documents: MTC report with every order
6061 wire is drawn or rolled from the same 6xxx chemistry as other 6061 products. It is commonly used as welding filler and for formed or machined small parts, and is available in soft O temper for forming as well as stronger T4 and T6 tempers.
6061 wire is supplied in diameters from 0.8 mm to 12 mm, with a typical size tolerance of ±0.05 mm, on spools or in coils of 10 – 500 kg.
| Temper | Diameter (mm) | Tolerance | Coil / Spool |
|---|---|---|---|
| O, T4, T6, T651 | 0.8 – 12 | ±0.05 mm | 10 – 500 kg |
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Silicon (Si) | 0.40 – 0.80 |
| Iron (Fe) | 0.70 max |
| Copper (Cu) | 0.15 – 0.40 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.15 max |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 0.80 – 1.20 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 0.04 – 0.35 |
| Zinc (Zn) | 0.25 max |
| Titanium (Ti) | 0.15 max |
| Others (each) | 0.05 max |
| Others (total) | 0.15 max |
| Aluminum (Al) | Remainder |
The values below are typical room-temperature properties for 6061 and are representative of extruded, drawn, or rolled product. Exact numbers vary with section size and product form; final inspection is reported on the MTC.
| Temper | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Brinell Hardness (HB) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| O | 124 | 55 | 25 | 30 |
| T4 | 241 | 145 | 22 | 65 |
| T6 | 310 | 276 | 12 | 95 |
| T651 | 310 | 276 | 12 | 95 |
6061 wire is a common welding filler base for 6xxx assemblies; 4043 or 5356 fillers are typically selected instead for the weld deposit itself.
In O temper the wire forms and draws well for rivets, pins, and small components.
6061-T6 offers around 40% IACS electrical conductivity, adequate for many non-critical electrical fittings.
Linsy Aluminum is a Shenzhen-based supplier with more than 20 years of experience in distributing and processing aluminum alloys from the 1000 to 8000 series. We support buyers with cut-to-length, CNC machining, welding preparation, surface finishing, and documented quality control.
Orders are handled against agreed lead times, and each lot is shipped with the corresponding MTC. Our team works with procurement, engineering, and fabrication customers to match the right temper and form to the application.
Standard supply is 0.8 – 12 mm diameter, on spools or in coils; other sizes can be quoted.
6061 is frequently drawn into welding-related wire, though the weld deposit itself often uses 4043 or 5356 filler depending on the joint.
Use O for forming and T6/T651 where strength matters; T4 is a middle option for moderately formed parts.
Standard stock sizes are usually dispatched within 10 – 60 days depending on temper, form, and finishing. Custom-cut or specially heat-treated material is confirmed at quotation.
Yes. An MTC is supplied with every order, and third-party test reports (for example SGS) can be arranged on request.
We can work to ASTM, EN, GB/T, JIS, and customer-specific drawings. Please share the required standard when requesting a quote.
Yes. Cutting-to-length, CNC machining, and basic fabrication are available; discuss your requirements when ordering.
