Invention Description As technology advances in the military, aerospace and electric vehicle sectors, there is increasing demand for electrical conductors capable of operating at high temperatures. Copper is the most common electrical conductor used in various applications ranging from communication cables and power distribution grids, to electrical...

Background Copper, because of its superior conductivity, has been used as the most common interconnect in electronic devices and winding in electrical machines. Typically, its maximum service temperature is below 200 °C due to thermal oxidation of Cu that impairs its electrical properties. Although Cu wires coated by oxidation resistant metals...
