Enhanced electrical conductivity and mechanical properties in thermally stable fine-grained copper wire
Strength and electrical conductivity are generally mutually exclusive properties in copper wires, both of which are required in applications such as high-speed rail. Here, rotary swaging is used to manufacture copper wires that combine high strength and conductivity, and are thermally stable.
