COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF COPPER AND ALUMINUM TO PROCESSING IN WIRE DRAWING PROCESS

Modern technological solutions in electrical applications require, above all, high energy efficiency. This means that such applications, materials with the highest possible conductivity should be used for conductive elements. Of all metals, copper is natural choice. Copper cables or wires networks and installations provide better thermal guarantee reliability - which translates into quality of electricity. And bad tangible financial losses. On other hand, apart from physical properties, an important factor price wires, partially dependent on stock exchange. The last 20 years have seen a increase prices markets at same time unstable. Therefore, cheaper substitutes are being sought. choice aluminum, currently widely overhead power lines. At time, case long cables, products still dominate. paper presents synthetic comparative analysis processing problems industrial drawing processes aluminum applications.. In particular, applied susceptibility formability wire process to recrystallization annealing wires. simple production purposes.
