Applications of Aluminum Wire & Rod
1. Electrical Applications
Aluminum wire is widely used in overhead transmission lines, electric cables, transformer winding, and magnet wire due to its excellent electrical conductivity and lightweight.
2. Construction & Architecture
Used in building facades, structural reinforcements, and suspended ceilings. Aluminum rods also serve in joining components in roofing and wall cladding.
3. Automotive & Transportation
Aluminum rods are used for making fasteners, pins, shafts, and parts requiring lightweight and corrosion resistance.
4. Industrial Machinery
6061 and 6082 aluminum rods are used in CNC machining, tooling, and components needing precision and strength.
Why Choose Aluminum Wire/Rod?
Advantages
Lightweight: ~35% the weight of steel
Excellent Conductivity: Especially for 1xxx series
Corrosion Resistant: Ideal for outdoor or marine use
Recyclable: Eco-friendly and cost-effective
Good Formability & Machinability
Limitations
Lower tensile strength compared to copper or steel
Creep under prolonged stress in high temperatures
Comparison: Aluminum vs. Copper Wire
Feature | Aluminum Wire | Copper Wire |
Weight | ~3x lighter | Heavier |
Cost | Lower | Higher |
Conductivity | ~61% of copper | Excellent (100%) |
Corrosion Resistance | High (especially with coating) | Moderate |
Installation | Easier to handle | Requires more support |

A: Our MOQ varies by size and alloy, typically starting from 500 kg.
A: Yes, especially in 6061 and 6082 grades for CNC applications.
A: 7075 has 2x higher strength than 6061-T6 but lower corrosion resistance and weldability. Use 6061 for general-purpose structural applications.
A: Anodizing (Type III), alodine coatings, or powder coating to enhance corrosion resistance.
A: Yes, all orders include Mill Test Reports (MTRs) with chemical, mechanical, and thermal data.
