Abstract

Manufacture of an aluminum-aluminum oxide dispersion composite conductive material (hereinafter referred to as Al-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 dispersion composite conductive material) by compacting aluminum powder prepared by the atomization method, the particles having an oxide film with a thickness of about 100 A, and heat-treating the resultant compacted material in a vacuum or in a reducing gas or inert gas atmosphere at a temperature of 660.degree. to 700.degree.C. The composite conductive material thus obtained has a structure, in which the aluminum oxide is uniformly dispersed in aluminum, and it is capable of high speed wire drawing. Its electrical conductivity is 56.5 to 63.2 percent IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), and its aluminum oxide content is 0.01 to 0.2 weight percent.
