Aluminum is the fastest growing automotive material, which leads to a reduction in the weight of the car. As a result, energy consumption and the emission of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides during car use are reduced, thereby reducing the carbon footprint which is currently a challenge for modern technology. Currently, in modern cars there are almost 1000 different cables, the length of which can be 1-3 km, which is a weight of 20-35 kg. The use of lightweight aluminum cables leads to a reduction in the weight of automotive cables to a level of up to 10 kg. Therefore, the replacement of copper cables with aluminum cables in the automotive industry is irreversible and poses a challenge for modern material engineering. The article concerns research on the analysis of aluminum alloys in terms of their potential use in the automotive industry. Due to the operating conditions, aluminum alloys should meet the requirements related to creep resistance and stress relaxation, multiple bending resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. The article presents a comparison of 4 types of aluminum alloys: Al-Fe, AlMgSi and AlZr and pure aluminum in terms of electrical and mechanical properties, creep resistance and stress relaxation.
