The effect of low content additives on strength, resistivity and microstructural changes in wire drawing of 1xxx series aluminium alloys for electrical purposes

Casting of Recycled Aluminum Cans to Electrical Conductivity Tape Production

“…The measurement of the electrical conductivity of the samples was performed after each lamination pass presented in Table 5 was performed. In the research by Koprowski et al a percentage of 61.1% of IACS conductivity was obtained using an aluminum alloy with the addition of 0.2% by weight of Mg, Co and Ce to technically pure aluminum [28]. The study showed that an increase in deformation leads to an increase in the resistance properties of the material and a decrease in the electrical conductivity, but different additives have different effects on these properties.…”

Fretting tests for cyclic plastic law identification: Application to a 1XXX aluminium crossed wire contact

“…In the literature, the texturing of aluminum has shown to be able to influence the properties of the wire [16]. Thus, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analyses were achieved to characterize the studied face centered cubic material.…”

Conductive Al Alloys: The Contradiction between Strength and Electrical Conductivity

“…For example, Hou et al [3a] obtained higher EC (≈62.59% IACS) and excellent strength (204 MPa) by cold deformation to control the texture and grain boundaries (GBs) in commercial pure Al. Koprowski et al [ 14 ] also achieved high EC (≈60.4% IACS) and excellent strength (170 MPa) with the aforementioned method. Although its strength is increased significantly, it still cannot be used as a long‐distance transmission conductor independently due to its poor mechanical performance at elevated temperatures.…”
