Patent ID: 8850863

Claim:
A method for producing an aluminum-alloy strand from an aluminum-alloy comprising: Fe: 0.1% by mass or more to less than 1.0% by mass; Zr: 0 to 0.08% by mass; Si: 0.02 to 2.8% by mass; at least one of Cu: 0.05 to 0.63% by mass and Mg: 0.04 to 0.45% by mass; and the remainder being aluminum and unavoidable impurities, the method comprising the steps of: (1) forming a wire rod using the aluminum-alloy; (2) wire-drawing the wire rod without a thermal treatment until becoming a desired final wire diameter; and (3) continuously annealing or batch-wise annealing the wire rod which has been wire-drawn.
