  • Aluminum-scandium alloys for busbars
    Patent number: 12695002
    Abstract: A busbar for electric power distribution comprises an aluminum (Al) alloy including scandium (Sc) and optionally including zirconium (Zr), erbium (Er), and/or ytterbium (Yb). In an example, the Sc and/or other elements are uniformly distributed throughout an entirety of the Al alloy. In an example, the Al is in a range of 98 to 99.99 percent by weight (wt %), and the scandium (Sc) is in a range of 0.01 to 0.5 wt %.

  • ALUMINUM-CARBON METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES FOR FASTENERS
    Publication number: 20250091127
    Abstract: A fastener configured for an electrical power distribution application is disclosed. The fastener includes an aluminum (Al) metal matrix composite (MMC) comprising nanoscale carbon particles in a concentration of 0.01 to 2 percent by weight (wt %). The nanoscale carbon particles are evenly distributed throughout an entirety of the MMC. The fastener is useful for connecting conductors such as busbars, wires, or cables. Also disclosed is a method for fabricating the aluminum MMC fastener comprising a solid-state deformation process.
