6201 aluminum alloy is a heat-treatable 6xxx series conductor grade combining good electrical conductivity with moderate strength and resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. Linsy supplies 6201 as wire, rod, and bar in T4, T6, and T81 tempers for busbars, conductor rails, and overhead line hardware. Custom sizes, cutting, and MTC documentation are available with every order.

6201 aluminum is a heat-treatable 6xxx series alloy developed for electrical conductor applications. With a silicon-magnesium composition and moderate strength, it combines good electrical conductivity with resistance to stress-corrosion cracking. It is most commonly supplied in the T81 temper for busbars, conductor rails, and overhead line hardware where a balance of conductivity and mechanical strength is required.
6201 is primarily an electrical conductor alloy, most often supplied as wire and rod for busbar and overhead line use. The following forms and size ranges are typical; custom dimensions can be negotiated.
| Форма | Диапазон размеров | Темпер |
| Wire (coil) | 0.8 – 30 mm diameter | T81, T6 |
| Drawn rod | 6 – 60 mm diameter | T81, T6 |
| Форма | Диапазон размеров | Темпер |
| Round / square bar | 6 – 300 mm diameter | T81, T6, T4 |
| Форма | Диапазон размеров | Темпер |
| Sheet / coil | 0.5 – 10 mm thickness, 500 – 2600 mm width | T6, T4 |
Extruded tube and profile in T6 temper are available on request; typical outside diameters range from 6 to 300 mm. Length is normally up to 12,000 mm and can be cut to order.

Values below are typical AA reference figures for 6201 and should be confirmed against Linsy mill test data before specification.
| Темпер | Прочность на разрыв (МПа) | Предел текучести (МПа) | Удлинение (%) | Прочность на сдвиг (МПа) |
| T4 | 200 | 120 | 15 | — |
| T6 | 300 | 260 | 10 | — |
| T81 | 310 | 275 | 8 | 193 |
| Темпер | When to use |
| T4 | Solution heat-treated and naturally aged; higher ductility for forming before final use. |
| T6 | Solution heat-treated and artificially aged; higher strength for general structural conductors. |
| T81 | Solution heat-treated, cold-worked, and artificially aged; the standard temper for 6201 busbar and conductor wire offering the best strength-to-conductivity balance. |
6201 offers good conductivity (approximately 53% IACS in the T81 temper), making it suitable for power transmission and distribution components.
Compared with pure aluminum conductor grades, 6201 provides significantly higher strength while retaining good corrosion resistance and resistance to stress-corrosion cracking.
The alloy is typically used in the as-supplied temper; welding is uncommon for electrical conductors, and mechanical connections (bolting, crimping) are preferred.
6201 wire and rod are supplied in the drawn or extruded condition. Cutting, bending, and punching are standard fabrication steps. Anodizing is not typical for electrical conductor use; consult our team before specifying a surface finish on conductive parts.
Every 6201 order ships with a Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1 MTC) covering composition and mechanical properties. SGS or third-party inspection can be arranged on request.
Comparison guides between conductor grades (for example 6101 vs 6201) and general aluminum selection notes can be linked to this page. Blog resources are being consolidated and will be added before launch.
No. Both are electrical conductor alloys, but 6201 has a higher magnesium range and is typically used in the T81 temper for busbar, while 6101 is more common for wire and strand.
In the T81 temper, 6201 typically reaches about 53% IACS. Confirm exact values from the MTC for your specific lot.
Standard stock sizes are usually dispatched within 10–60 days depending on temper, quantity, and any custom processing. Confirm the exact schedule with our sales team when requesting a quote.
Yes. We cut to length, saw, and CNC-machine to drawing, and can source specific tempers on request. Provide your required dimensions and tolerance in the RFQ.
A Mill Test Certificate (MTC) is included with every order. SGS or other third-party inspection reports can be arranged when needed.
Common options include mill finish, anodizing, and polishing. Specific finishes should be agreed at the quotation stage.
