  • 8000-SERIES ALUMINUM ALLOY
    Publication number: 20200299809
    Abstract: An 8000-series aluminum alloy, useful to form wires, including a rare-earth element. The alloy exhibits improved creep resistance and stress relaxation resistance, as compared to the same alloy that is substantially free of the rare-earth element, while the electrical conductivity of the alloy is substantially unaffected by the addition of the rare-earth element.
