  • ALUMINUM ALLOY WIRES WITH HIGH STRENGTH AND HIGH ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY
    Publication number: 20230197309
    Abstract: Aluminum alloy wires with improved electrical conductivity and improved ultimate tensile strength are disclosed. The aluminum alloys include magnesium, silicon, and copper and are formed without a solution heat treatment. The aluminum alloy wires are useful as conductors for overhead transmission lines. Methods of making the aluminum alloy wires are further disclosed.
    Type: Application

  • 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.

  • Cables and wires having conductive elements formed from improved aluminum-zirconium alloys
    Patent number: 10450637
    Abstract: A conductive element of a cable or a wire is formed of an improved aluminum-zirconium alloy. The aluminum-zirconium alloy further includes an inoculant. The aluminum-zirconium alloy exhibits excellent ultimate tensile strength values and resistance to heat. Bonding wires formed from an improved aluminum-zirconium alloy exhibiting certain ultimate tensile strength values, fatigue resistance and/or creep rates are also described. Methods of forming cables and wires are also further disclosed.
