The invention discloses Al-Fe-Mg-Zr aluminum
alloy used for
coal mine cables. The Al-Fe-Mg-Zr aluminum
alloy comprises 0.2 percent-1.1 percent of Fe, 0.01 percent-0.4 percent of Mg, 0.001 percent-0.2 percent of Zr, 0 percent-0.1 percent of Si, 0 percent-0.2 percent of B and the balance being Al and impurities, wherein the resistivity of the aluminum
alloy is not larger than 0.028164
omega*mm<2> / m, the elongation at break is not lower than 10 percent, and ninety-degree fatigue bending frequency is larger than or equal to thirty. The aluminum alloy material is smelted, cast and rolled, so that an aluminum alloy rod is obtained; afterwards, the aluminum alloy rod is subjected to pulling, bunch stranding and
softening, so that an aluminum alloy cable core is formed; next, the cable core is subjected to extruded insulation, cabling, sheath
extrusion or armoring, so that an aluminum alloy cable is manufactured. The manufactured aluminum alloy cable has the advantages of being high in strength, high in electric
conductivity, good in bending performance and the like, and therefore the requirements for cable performance in the field of
coal mines can be satisfied.
