Decrease in Electrical Resistivity below 28 nΩm by Aging in Hyperperitectic Al-Zr Alloys Treated at High Temperatures

High-voltage and alternating current conductors are mainly made up of a steel core and an envelope made of aluminum wires. The alloys commonly used in the shell are of pure aluminum, which provides low electrical resistivity, but also low mechanical resistance. The correlation between resistance and...
