Abstract

L'invention concerne un matériau électro-conducteur (10) à base d'aluminium produit en soumettant un alliage vieilli à base d'aluminium-scandium à un traitement de préparation de manière à conférer une contrainte équivalant à 4 ou plus à l'alliage et ensuite à éliminer la contrainte restante du produit résultant. Le matériau électro-conducteur (10) à base d'aluminium est composé d'une structure métallique qui comprend des grains de cristaux (11) d'aluminium ou d'alliage à base d'aluminium ayant un diamètre de grain moyen de 2 µm ou moins et des nano-précipités à base d'aluminium-scandium (13) ayant un diamètre de grain moyen de 1 à 60 nm compris et existant sur les joints des grains (12) des grains de cristal (11) dans une quantité de 0,1 à 1% en masse compris, a une dureté Vickers de 50 à 70 compris, et a aussi une résistance à la fatigue d'au moins 180 MPa quand le matériau électro-conducteur à base d'aluminium (10) est déformé de manière répétée 106 fois dans un test de fatigue dans lequel la déformation répétée est appliquée au matériau électro-conducteur (10) à base d'aluminium. Ainsi, il devient possible de fournir: un matériau électro-conducteur à base d'aluminium qui peut être utilisé dans le câblage d'un mécanisme d'entraînement de chacun de robots et de divers dispositifs; et un câble fabriqué en utilisant le matériau électro-conducteur à base d'aluminium.
