Noalox on Aluminum

[mbrooke]

Annealing is generally the process of heating alloy or pure metal to a critical temperature and then cooling it slowly. The result is a more pliable crystal structure in the metal which is both more flexible and less subject to cracking from stress propagation.
In some cases repeated thermal cycling is used.

I've heard that can be a problem with transmission lines. That age and overheating can cause annealing with hard drawn copper which is bad.

UL tests lugs with no inhibitor. If lug fails, retested with inhibitor and instructions will require it. Most inspectors are used to seeing it. May be easier to use than document its not required. The burndy h lugs were mentioned, they have inhibitor on the lug from the factory.

I have that one, but thanks
