<p>An aluminium alloy conductor having an electrical conductivity of at least fifty-seven percent (57%) based on the International Annealed Copper Standard having increased ultimate elongation, ultimate tensile strength, creep strength, thermal stability, bendability and fatigue resistance when compared to conventional aluminum conductors. The aluminum alloy conductor can contain intermetallic constitutents consisting of: iron and aluminum and optionally silicon in varying ratios, in a concentration produced by the addition of from more than about 0.99 to about 2.50 weight percent iron to an alloy mass containing less than about 98.83 weight percent aluminum, from more than about 0.18 to about 0.40 weight percent silicon, and trace quantities of conventional impurities normally found within a commercial aluminum alloy.</p> |
