The study looks at how time, temperature, and local stress interact in aluminum joints. Around 100 °C and 30 MPa, creep can begin, so the design objective is to keep compressive stress low and stable. Aluminum is attractive because it is cheaper and lighter than copper. That creates a real cost opportunity in cables and busbars, but only if the connection stays reliable for years. Aluminum will save cost and reduce weight but may require larger cross sectional area to. Detailed comparison of copper and aluminum busbars covering conductivity, weight, cost, thermal performance, joint design, skin effect, and application suitability to help engineers make the right material choice.
