Effect of Fe on the Performance of Rare Earth Aluminum Conductor

Abstract:

The effect of Fe on the performance of rare earth aluminum conductor was investigated in this paper. The tensile strength, elongation and conductivity of the alloys were tested. The study results showed that Fe can significantly increase the tensile strength and elongation of the aluminum rod. However, with the increasing content of Fe, the conductivity of the aluminum rod reduced more obviously. In comprehensively considering the tensile strength, elongation and conductivity, the alloy gained better mechanical properties and conductivity when ω (Fe) was 0.3%.
