Abstract: Aluminum cable type electrical conductor having at least one stranded conductor based on conductive wires with an aluminum core coated with an intermediate layer of copper itself coated by a surface layer of nickel. The surface layer of nickel has a thickness from about 1.3 ?m to about 3 ?m, it has sufficient continuity to resist a polysulfide bath continuity test for at least 30 seconds without visible traces of attack of the copper appearing at ×1O magnification. This kind of conductor is particularly suitable in small diameters for conducting electricity in aircraft and motor vehicles.
