Pat,

I have never attempted to use anodized aluminum wire before, but have
frequently used PURE 1.25 - 20 mil diameter aluminum wire for wire bonding
in automotive and power applications.

You can try the following three sites.  I KNOW they can provide the wire
diameter you want, but it may be too pure for your needs.  Normal wire
bonding wire is very pure, and hence, very soft.

What I DO NOT know, is if they will anodize it for you.  I rather doubt it,
but then it is worth a phone call.

May I be inquisitive and ask why one would use anodized aluminum wire of
this diameter??

I am looking for information on a supplier for anodised aluminium wire, the
problem is that the wire must be between 005" and 006" in diameter.

Can anyone help?
