Alloy Wire Rod 6201 / AA8000 6201 · Billet / Rod · Billets & Wire Rod
Alloy Wire Rod 6201 / AA8000 is traded in billet / rod form, sourced from primary smelter rod mill. Billets are round logs cast for extrusion, mostly in 6063 and 6061, while wire rod is continuously cast and rolled rod used to draw conductors. Both are semi-finished feedstock rather than end products.

What to check before you buy
- Dimensions / tolerance: Write down the size and the allowed variation, for example thickness, width, diameter or length with plus and minus limits, and agree how they will be measured.
- Conductivity: For electrical grades, agree the minimum conductivity, usually stated as % IACS, and ask for test results from the mill.
- Tensile strength: Agree the minimum tensile strength (and yield and elongation if needed) for your application, and ask for the values on the test certificate.
- Lot check: Confirm alloy, diameter and length tolerance, homogenisation, grain refining and surface finish for billets. For wire rod, check EC or alloy grade, conductivity, tensile strength, coil weight and the mill test certificate.
