(13) Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a high-temperature corrosion-resistant stranded conductor, which is formed by twisting a plurality of composite wire monofilaments.

(16) In some embodiments, the highly conductive core wire 1 is made of copper or a copper alloy.

(99) A high-temperature, high-strength, high-conductivity stranded conductor was prepared using the technical solution described in Example 3 of CN118155913A. Under operating conditions above 800 C., the signal transmission performance of the stranded conductor in this comparative example failed after a very short period. As shown in FIG. 6, after a brief period of operation under an operating condition of 1000 C., a surface of the conductor is completely charred, indicating severe damage and rendering the conductor unusable.

(100) Conventional testing techniques in the field were used to evaluate the tensile strength and endurance properties of the stranded conductors from Examples 14 and Comparative Examples 1-3. The results are presented in Tables 1 and 2 below.

(103) Since molybdenum enhances the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy and tungsten effectively suppresses void formation during creep under high-temperature conditions, FIGS. 3 to 4, combined with Tables 1 and 2 above, demonstrate that the composite wire monofilaments in Examples 1 to 4 of the present disclosure maintain excellent surface quality after prolonged operation under the operating condition of 1000 C. As seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, the conductor surface remains intact, exhibiting superior high-temperature corrosion resistance. The conductor functions normally without signal interruption, and both the tensile strength and the electrical conductivity meet operational requirements under the operating condition of 1000 C.

(104) Referring to FIG. 5 and Tables 1 and 2, it may be observed that after prolonged operation under the temperature condition of 1000 C., the surface morphology of the composite wire monofilament in Comparative Example 1 exhibits regular and mild oxidative damage. Under the same test conditions, the surface morphology of the composite wire monofilament in Comparative Example 2 is similar to that shown in FIG. 5, and the endurance life of the composite wire monofilaments in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is significantly shorter than the endurance life of the composite wire monofilaments in Examples 1 to 4.

(105) As shown in FIG. 6, in conjunction with Tables 1 and 2, it may be observed that after a short period of operation under the operating condition of 1000 C., the composite wire monofilament in Comparative Example 3 exhibits partial surface damage, rendering it unable to function properly.

(106) Furthermore, the composite wire monofilaments in Examples 1 to 4 of the present disclosure exhibit a comprehensive tensile strength of no less than 300 MPa under high-temperature operating conditions of 600 C. to 750 C.

(107) In summary, the stranded conductor provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure offers space and weight savings while maintaining high conductivity, corrosion resistance, and relatively stable signal transmission performance, particularly in high-temperature operating conditions of 800 C. to 1000 C.

(108) The above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(109) The basic concepts are described above. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, the above detailed disclosure is only an example, and does not constitute a limitation to the present disclosure. Although not expressly stated here, those skilled in the art may make various modifications, improvements, and corrections to the present disclosure. Such modifications, improvements and corrections are suggested in present disclosure, so such modifications, improvements, and corrections still belong to the spirit and scope of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

(110) Meanwhile, the present disclosure uses specific words to describe the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, one embodiment, an embodiment, and/or some embodiments refer to a certain feature, structure or characteristic related to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be emphasized and noted that references to one embodiment or an embodiment or an alternative embodiment two or more times in different places in the present disclosure do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, certain features, structures or characteristics in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure may be properly combined.

(111) In addition, unless clearly stated in the claims, the sequence of processing elements and sequences described in the present disclosure, the use of counts and letters, or the use of other names are not used to limit the sequence of processes and methods in the present disclosure. While the foregoing disclosure has discussed by way of various examples some embodiments of the invention that are presently believed to be useful, it should be understood that such detail is for illustrative purposes only and that the appended claims are not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but rather, the claims are intended to cover all modifications and equivalent combinations that fall within the spirit and scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, although the implementation of various components described above may be embodied in a hardware device, it may also be implemented as a software only solution, e.g., an installation on an existing server or mobile device.

(112) In the same way, it should be noted that in order to simplify the expression disclosed in this disclosure and help the understanding of one or more embodiments of the invention, in the foregoing description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, sometimes multiple features are combined into one embodiment, drawings or descriptions thereof. This manner of disclosure does not, however, imply that the subject matters of the disclosure requires more features than are recited in the claims. Rather, claimed subject matters may lie in less than all features of a single foregoing disclosed embodiment.

(113) In some embodiments, numbers describing the quantity of components and attributes are used. It should be understood that such counts used in the description of the embodiments use the modifiers about, approximately, or substantially in some examples. Unless otherwise stated, about, approximately or substantially indicates that the stated figure allows for a variation of +20%. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the numerical parameters used in the disclosure and claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired characteristics of individual embodiments. In some embodiments, numerical parameters should consider the specified significant digits and adopt the general digit retention method. Although the numerical ranges and parameters used in some embodiments of the present disclosure to confirm the breadth of the range are approximations, in specific embodiments, such numerical values are set as precisely as practicable.

(114) Each of the patents, patent applications, publications of patent applications, and other material, such as articles, books, specifications, publications, documents, things, and/or the like, referenced herein is hereby incorporated herein by this reference in its entirety for all purposes, excepting any prosecution file history associated with same, any of same that is inconsistent with or in conflict with the present document, or any of same that may have a limiting affect as to the broadest scope of the claims now or later associated with the present document. By way of example, should there be any inconsistency or conflict between the description, definition, and/or the use of a term associated with any of the incorporated material and that associated with the present document, the description, definition, and/or the use of the term in the present document shall prevail.

(115) In closing, it is to be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure disclosed herein are illustrative of the principles of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other modifications that may be employed may be within the scope of the present disclosure. Thus, by way of example, but not of limitation, alternative configurations of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be utilized in accordance with the teachings herein. Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to that precisely as shown and described.
