Abstract
A busbar for electric power distribution comprises an aluminum (Al) alloy including scandium (Sc) and optionally including zirconium (Zr), erbium (Er), and/or ytterbium (Yb). In an example, the Sc and/or other elements are uniformly distributed throughout an entirety of the Al alloy. In an example, the Al is in a range of 98 to 99.99 percent by weight (wt %), and the scandium (Sc) is in a range of 0.01 to 0.5 wt %.
