While hot-rolled aluminum is excellent for general conductivity, most high-precision busbars undergo a final to achieve the T6 temper (solution heat-treated and artificially aged). The Indal Handbook provides specific data on how the "hot" phase of manufacturing influences the final electrical conductivity (typically around 61% IACS). 4. Managing Temperature Rise (The "Hot" Factor)
While copper is often touted for conductivity, the Indal Handbook highlights why aluminum is a "hot" choice for modern infrastructure: indal handbook for aluminium busbar hot
