Application of Heat Treatment to Aluminum Alloy Wires and Comparison of Full Alloy AAAC Conductor Manufactured with These Wires and Conventional ACSR Stranded Conductors

Conventional ACSR conductors are formed by stranding aluminum wires over a steel core. The core does not contribute to current carrying and is used only for purposes. has great role in the shedding of line weight. With increase weight, longer poles at shorter distances, but it cannot be abandoned because undertakes transport task. Nowadays, search alternatives conventional conductor accelerated. One these AAAC (Full alloy conductors). hardened with special production eliminate need as carrier center. While producing overhead conductor, after ingots melted melting furnaces taken resting furnaces, addition elements such Si, Mg certain proportions, solidified pouring into copper mold through refractory runners, rolling process, 9.5 mm or 12 Aluminum Alloy rod (wire rod) semi-finished products produced. wire diameter determined standards produced, thinned reduction ratio drawing desired obtained. In rolled suitable machine final product produced brought together step form conductor. order gain mechanical electrical properties wire, heat applied time temperature treatment furnaces. Considering degree this study, before will compared effect process on shown experimental studies. Mechanical tests 774 AL7 made Pheasant knitted cores carried out two considering some parameters selection.
