Abstract

The invention concerns electrical conductors of Al-Fe alloys containing from 0.5 to 5% of Fe. Conductors having a highly fibered structure which are stable up to 350.degree. C and have a range of mechanical and electrical characteristics which are remarkable and an excellent surface state are obtained by press drawing of granules of Al-Fe alloys obtained by centrifugal spraying of the liquid metal. Application to electrical conductors in the form of wires, cables and various shaped sections such as flat sections and strips which may be flexible or rigid.
