Decision	Copper Flat Wire	Aluminum Flat Wire	Acceptance basis
Material	Specified copper grade and temper	Specified aluminum grade and temper	Use material resistance and mechanical data for the supplied condition.
Winding section	Copper width/thickness/corners and insulation envelope	Aluminum width/thickness/corners and insulation envelope	Fix winding space and required resistance/temperature rise before comparing mass.
Joining	Copper terminal and joining design	Aluminum-compatible terminal, surface preparation and joining design	Test the actual connection; the same external size does not establish compatibility.
