Claims25
An electrical transportation wire made of aluminum alloy, wherein said electrical transportation wire comprises:
- aluminum,
- from 0.2% to 0.6% by weight of zirconium and
- from 0.25% to 0.4% by weight of iron,
- from 0.12% to 0.35% be weight of copper, and
- unavoidable impurities, said unavoidable impurities including Mn and Si, and
- wherein said alloy comprises at least 80 parts by weight of zirconium in the form of precipitates Al3Zr per 100 parts by weight of zirconium in said aluminum alloy,
