Vedanta Aluminium has unveiled a new range of advanced wire rods for a wide range of applications including power transmission.
The new range covering the “T4”, “AL59” and “8xxx” series establishes a new paradigm of excellence in product offerings for the global power and power transmission sector, a release from Vedanta Aluminium said.
Built to deliver exceptional performance, the new range is manufactured using state-of-the-art continuous casting technology. These products will also find key applications in automotive, building, infrastructure and electronics.
The T4 alloy rod offers customers the advantages of low-sag high strength, high drawability and enhanced durability. These properties make it perfect for usage within high-voltage transmission grids and also in manufacturing optical fibre composite overhead wires. In addition, the AL59 alloy rod offers a higher strength-to-weight ratio, superior power evacuation and a significantly higher current carrying capacity. These properties make it a must-have in the production of long-lasting cables and conductors. Further, the 8xxx series of wire rods offers exceptional anti-corrosion properties, making it of immense value to the construction, transportation and architectural sectors, which need a perfect balance of malleability and durability.
