Aluminum wire is a wire that is used for electrical wiring in houses, power grids and airplanes. Aluminum wire is an alternative conducting material considering its electrical and mechanical properties and price compared to copper wire. Aluminum is a poorer electrical conductor compared to copper, so it is infrequently used in small applications such as home wiring. However, when copper prices skyrocketed in the 1960s aluminum wiring became a favorable choice.
