Patent ID: 8353993

Claim:
An electric wire for a wire harness used as an electric wire of a wire harness for a motor vehicle, said electric wire comprising an electrical conductor formed of a single or a plurality of aluminum alloy wires and an insulating cover layer formed on an outer periphery of said conductor, and said aluminum alloy wire comprising not less than 0.90% and not more than 1.20% by mass of Fe, not less than 0.05% and not more than 0.5% by mass of Mg, and a remainder including Al and an impurity, said aluminum alloy wire comprising at least one of Ti and B, and a content by mass ratio of Ti is not less than 100 ppm and not more than 500 ppm, and a content by mass ratio of B is not less than 10 ppm and not more than 50 ppm, said aluminum alloy wire having an electrical conductivity of not less than 58% IACS, and said aluminum alloy wire having an elongation of not less than 10%.
