1、Designation:B94116Standard Specification forHeat Resistant Aluminum-Zirconium Alloy Wire for ElectricalPurposes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B941;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last
2、 revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers heat resistant aluminum-zirconium alloy round wire for electrical purposes.There is afamily of alumin
3、um-zirconium alloys that are used for heat-resistance(that is,resist annealing),which differ by zirconiumcontent,tensile strength,electrical conductivity,and maximumuse temperature.This standard covers one currently commer-cially applicable alloy from this family.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound
4、units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibi
5、lity of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 The following documents of the issue in effect on thedate of material purchase form a part of this specification t
