FAQs
1. What is the difference between annealed and non-annealed aluminum wire?
Annealed aluminum wire undergoes a heat treatment process to increase ductility and reduce hardness, making it more flexible and easier to shape compared to non-annealed wire.
2. Can this wire be used for high-temperature applications?
While aluminum has a relatively low melting point (~660°C), this wire can withstand moderate temperatures but may soften or deform under prolonged high-heat exposure.
3. Is this wire compatible with standard wire cutters?
Yes, the annealed nature of this wire makes it soft enough to be cut with standard laboratory wire cutters without excessive force.
4. How should this wire be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a dry, sealed container away from moisture and corrosive chemicals to prevent oxidation and contamination.
5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring higher conductivity?
Copper wire is a common alternative for higher electrical conductivity, though it lacks aluminum’s lightweight properties and corrosion resistance.
