Aluminum Wire Rod

Aluminum wire rod is a round cross-section wire made of aluminum as raw material, often supplied in the form of coils. It has excellent properties such as thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and light weight. According to the composition, it can be divided into two categories: pure aluminum wire rod and aluminum alloy wire rod. Wanzhi Steel is a high-quality aluminum wire rod manufacturer in China. We have aluminum wire rods of different series and diameters in stock. If you are interested, please contact us for details. (Chat on WhatsApp/Email Directly).

Commonly used aluminum series

• 1050: Excellent conductivity, good ductility, strong corrosion resistance, good weldability, can be anodized, and has the lowest strength.
• 1060: The most commonly used grade of pure aluminum, slightly higher purity than 1060, better conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, excellent formability and surface treatment, and low cost.
• 1070: The highest purity, excellent corrosion resistance, and best conductivity, but the lowest strength and soft hardness.
• 1100: Contains a small amount of Cu, slightly higher strength than 1060, slightly worse corrosion resistance, but good formability and weldability.
• 3003: The most commonly used 3 series alloy, with a strength about 20% higher than pure aluminum, good formability and corrosion resistance, can be welded, and cannot be heat-treated and strengthened.
• 5052: Medium-high strength, outstanding corrosion resistance (especially salt spray corrosion resistance), excellent formability, can be anodized, and significant work hardening.
• 5083: High-strength alloy, good fatigue resistance, extremely resistant to marine environment, excellent weldability.
• 6061: Excellent overall performance, medium strength, heat treatment can improve strength, good corrosion resistance, easy anodizing.
• 6063: Low strength, high plasticity. The strength is slightly lower than 6061, but the formability is better, and the surface anodizing effect is excellent (surface beauty).

Aluminum wire rod performance characteristics

1. Excellent conductivity

Aluminum rods have excellent conductivity and are suitable for the manufacture of electrical equipment such as wires and cables.

2. Good corrosion resistance

Aluminum stick rods can form a dense aluminum oxide film in the air, which has good corrosion resistance.

3. Lightweight and high strength

Aluminum wire rods have a low density but high strength, which is suitable for occasions where weight reduction is required.

4. Easy to process

Aluminum wire rods have good plasticity and ductility and are easy to process by rolling, drawing, etc.

5. Cost-effectiveness

Compared with other metal materials, its price is relatively low.

6. Good mechanical properties

It has certain strength and toughness and can withstand certain tension and pressure.

What are aluminum rods used for?

Power and electronics

• Overhead transmission lines: Aluminum stranded wire (AAAC all-aluminum stranded wire, ACSR steel-core aluminum stranded wire) is commonly used in high-voltage transmission lines, thanks to the high conductivity and light weight of aluminum.
• Cable conductor: The core wire used for power cables and control cables, especially suitable for indoor wiring and building cables.
• Electromagnetic wire: After being drawn into fine aluminum wire, it can be made into enameled wire for windings of motors, transformers, and household appliances (air conditioning compressors).
• Batteries and new energy: In the production of lithium batteries, aluminum foil wire can be used as a current collector material or as a connecting wire for battery components.

Communications and networks

• Some communication cables (unshielded twisted pair) use aluminum conductors to reduce costs or to strengthen the shielding layer of signal transmission lines.

Construction and decoration

• Rebar substitute or auxiliary material: Aluminum wire can be used to bundle light steel structures, temporary building components or as a light connection material.
• Decorative wire: After anodizing and painting, it is made into aluminum ropes and decorative nets for indoor and outdoor decoration (ceiling, curtain wall decoration), furniture weaving aluminum rattan chairs.

Pipes and heat dissipation

• Aluminum wire can be processed into heat sinks or heat dissipation ribs for the manufacture of building heating systems and electronic equipment radiators.

Packaging and bundling

• Food and medicine: Replace traditional iron wire as aluminum wire soft packaging bundling for food, medicine, and daily necessities.
• Tobacco, textiles, and household use: Used to bundle cigarette paper, cloth rolls, etc. Jewelry making, handicraft weaving, and art.
• Agriculture and fisheries: Make reinforcement wires for fishing nets and binding wires for agricultural greenhouses (corrosion-resistant to prevent iron wire from rusting and damaging crops).

• Machinery & Logistics: Used for temporary fixing of parts or wiring harness arrangement; in the logistics industry, used for reinforcement of goods in containers.

Automobiles and transportation

• Automobile wiring harnesses: With the trend of lightweight automobiles, aluminum wires are gradually replacing copper wires for low-voltage wires, reducing the weight and cost of the entire vehicle.
• Transportation facilities: Processed into aluminum steel wire ropes, used for lightweight transformation of highway guardrails and bridge cables, or made into supporting wires for traffic signs.

Aerospace and military industry

• Lightweight components: In the aerospace field, aluminum wire is alloyed to make high-strength wire, which is used for aircraft structural connection, aviation cables, or lightweight design of missile components.
• Military equipment: Used to manufacture lightweight wires for radar antennas, communication equipment, or binding materials for precision instruments.

Aluminum wire rod manufacturing process

The manufacturing process of aluminum wire rods mainly includes raw material preparation, smelting, casting, rolling and drawing, finishing, and inspection.

The rolling and drawing steps are to roll or draw the cast aluminum rod to obtain the required diameter and shape. Rolling is to roll the billet through a rolling mill, while drawing is to stretch the billet through a drawing machine.

Finally, 3/4 of the aluminum rod will be coiled or cut into specified lengths. Coiling ensures easy handling and transportation, especially for large quantities.
