1. A method for producing an aluminum wire from an aluminum rod, the method comprising:
cold-drawing the aluminum rod at a temperature in a range from about −40° F. to about 400° F. to reduce the cross-sectional area, producing the aluminum wire; wherein the aluminum rod is a cylindrical rod having a diameter in a range from about 0.2″ to 0.35″, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the aluminum rod to the aluminum wire is in a range from about 3:1 to about 10:1, the aluminum wire has a tensile strength in a range from about 17,000 to about 22,000 psi, and the aluminum wire is not annealed.
