Rusal’s aluminium alloys get approval for use in wire applications
Rusal announced that aluminium alloys 8030 and 8176 have received approval from the Russian authorities for the use in electrical wiring applications. The company's technical specialists have launched the production of 8030 and 8176 alloys at the Kandalaksha and Irkutsk aluminium smelters.
The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation has permitted the use of aluminium wiring in buildings and structures. These alloys are used in electrical wiring production in the United States and China.
“In 2000, due to the outdated technical specification of electrical wiring, the market regulator imposed a ban on the use of aluminium wiring in the construction of residential and public buildings,” according to company’s press release.
“The aluminium wiring, manufactured by Irkutskkabel and Kamskiye Cable, has undergone extensive testing in accordance with the current testing methods. Experts from RosElectromontazh Association and the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations Research Institute were involved in the evaluation process of the reliability tests.”
“The permit received from regulator is a major breakthrough for Russian producers of aluminium wiring on the domestic market and in the CIS countries.”
