PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aluminum alloy wire which is superior in corrosion resistance, an aluminum alloy twisted wire, an insulated electric wire using the aluminum twisted wire as a conductor, and an electric wire with a terminal having the insulated electric wire. SOLUTION: In the aluminum alloy wire used for a conductor of an electric wire for a vehicle, a covered layer is provided on an outer surface of an end of the alloy wire wherein a terminal member made of copper and a copper alloy is mounted. The outermost layer of the covered layer is formed with zinc or a zinc alloy. A battery is formed between the aluminum alloy and the copper or the copper alloy, so that an aluminum alloy is eroded. However, zinc is eroded in advance if a zinc layer and a zinc alloy layer are provided on the surface of the aluminum alloy, and progress of corrosion of the aluminum alloy can be delayed. Accordingly, the aluminum alloy wire is superior in corrosion resistance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
