The rare earths high iron aluminum alloy material, developed by the company, mixes aluminum and some special materials, for example, rare earths to change the physical properties, which results a non-ferrous materials “revolution". The alloy cable enjoys three advantages, such as performance, it shows 35% more of percentage elongation,50% more of resisting fatigue strength, 40% less of inverse elasticity, 10 more years of service life and stronger antioxidant and corrosion resistance than those of copper wire, because of rare earths element added in conductor and better insulating material; safety, it is contributed to adding the patent fire retardants so that the alloy cable can still function for light even on fire; and cost, 40% less than that of copper wire.

“While the old pejorative attitude is still somewhat of a problem, aluminum conductors have experienced a significant increase in use for building wire over the last 10 years,” she said. “Contractors, engineers and owners have gained confidence based on the fact that AA-8000 series aluminum alloy conductors have been installed and operating reliably for over 40 years.”


Aluminum vs. Copper for service entrance wire. Advantages and benefits of each?

In the car industry, this lightweight material is in the process of replacing copper in power cables.

while Electrical market applications decreased 6.7% in 2014.

Automobile manufacturers are increasingly looking to aluminium as they try to reduce the weight of cars and trucks to meet more stringent US fuel-economy standards, according to one industry association.
