2014 aluminum wire is a high-strength aluminum–copper alloy wire, known for its excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, and fatigue strength. It offers superior hardness, tensile strength, and dimensional stability, making it suitable for aerospace, automotive, and high-performance industrial applications. Compared with common 1000 and 3000 series aluminum wires, 2014 provides significantly higher strength while maintaining good corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.
