  • Method of fabricating a bare aluminum conductor
    Patent number: 7258754
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a bare aluminum electrical conductor including a step of heat treating the conductor while wound on a winding form. The method comprises the step of coating the outer surface of the aluminum conductor with an inorganic powder material prior to winding the wire or cable on the winding form. The invention also relates to a method of protecting an aluminum conductor from damage during heat treatment and shipment when wound on a winding form. This method comprises providing a layer of aluminum or aluminum alloy between said conductor and parts of said winding form that would contact said wound conductor if not for said layer.

  • Wire reduction device
    Patent number: 6851293
    Abstract: A device re-shapes formed wire after processes such as annealing where wire is wound on bobbins. The device includes a reservoir for containing lubricant having a first open end and a second open end. The first end of the reservoir is closed by a guide mechanism for guiding the wire into the reservoir. The second end of the reservoir is closed by a wire shaping for shaping the wire when the wire is pulled therethrough. The wire shaping mechanism reduces the cross-sectional area of the wire by no more than 24%.
