Improved 8000-series aluminum alloys exhibiting improved creep resistance and stress relaxation resistance are disclosed and are useful to form wires. The improved 8000-series aluminum alloys include a rare earth element. The electrical conductivity of the aluminum alloy is substantially unaffected by the addition of the rare earth element.

Wires formed from improved 8000-series aluminum alloy

A conductive element of a cable or a wire is formed of an improved aluminum-zirconium alloy. The aluminum-zirconium alloy further includes an inoculant. The aluminum-zirconium alloy exhibits excellent ultimate tensile strength values and resistance to heat. Bonding wires formed from an improved aluminum-zirconium alloy exhibiting certain ultimate tensile strength values, fatigue resistance and/or creep rates are also described. Methods of forming cables and wires are also further disclosed.
