Extra high conductivity

Lamifil: always a step ahead.
Lamifil has in fact developed a technology that allows the production of aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloys (AA6101) with extra high conductivity. The conductivity of these alloys is well above the value specified in the EN50182 standard. A value of 57.0% IACS with an average tensile strength of 310 MPa is repeatedly achieved.

This extra high conductivity alloy has the advantage of reducing the Joule loss by as much as 8% compared with conventional AA6101 alloys. Moreover, no changes are required to the cable design or accessories and ampacity can be improved by 4%.

Lamifil is currently working on an alloy with extra-extra high conductivity of 57.5% IACS and a tensile strength of 295 Mpa. This special alloy is already available upon request.
