An aluminum alloy material having an alloy composition comprising by mass %, magnesium in an amount of 1.8%-2.5%, iron in an amount of 0.10%-0.90%, and aluminum in an amount of 98.1%-95%.
A method of manufacturing an aluminum alloy material having an alloy composition comprising by mass %, magnesium in an amount of 1.8%-2.5%, iron in an amount of 0.10%-0.90%, and aluminum in an amount of 98.1%-95%, the method comprising:
- mixing loads of aluminum;
- heating the loads of aluminum to their melting point;
- casting molten loads and rolling rods from cast;
- cold rolling the rods to strips;
- annealing the strips;
- and
- casting the annealed strips and rolling rods from cast.
An armored cable comprising:
- at least one electrical conductor;
- an armor sheath enclosing the at least one electrical conductor, wherein the armor sheath comprises:
- an elongated strip formed in continuous helical interlocked convolutions;
- and
- an aluminum alloy material having an alloy composition comprising by mass %, magnesium in an amount of 1.8%-2.5%, iron in an amount of 0.10%-0.90, and aluminum in an amount of 98.1%-95%.
