Copper plated aluminum stranded cable and its fabrication method

摘要

An aluminium cable electric conductor, incorporating at least one strand with a base of conducting wires (1) with a core (2) of aluminium coated with an intermediate layer (3) of copper which is coated with a superficial layer (4) of nickel, has the following characteristics : (A) the superficial layer of nickel has a thickness (E) of between 1.3 mu m and 3 mu m; (B) the superficial layer of nickel has sufficient continuity to resist a continuity test in a bath of polysulphur for at least 30 seconds without the appearance of zones of attack of the copper, visible at an enlargement of times ten. An independent claim is also included for the production of this conductor.
