Improvement of mechanical properties of drawn aluminum wire for wiring harness

$15.00

This paper focuses on aluminum wire as a material for the wiring harness, and verifies that high-ductility wire can be obtained by the new method of alternate drawing. The breaking strain of the wire by alternate drawing is approximately 20% higher than by conventional drawing. Alternate drawing can reduce the additional shear strain generated at the surface layer of the wire by approximately 20% compared with conventional drawing.
