Development of Intercalated Wire and Cable.
Abstract
An extensive study was conducted on the swaging of composite wires consisting of an intercalated graphite core in a copper sheath. The purpose was to develop a method that replicated earlier results wherein high electrical conductivity was encountered. The project was unable to produce those earlier, favorable results. It was determined that analysis of core resistivity cannot be done where the core has a higher resistivity than the sheath. Copper chloride was shown to be an air stable intercalant in graphite with a crystal resistivity in the vicinity of 5 x 10 to the minus 6 ohm cm. The main problem of swaging cored tube samples remains unsolved. (Author)
