1. A cable comprising one or more conductors, wherein at least one of the one or more conductors is formed from a high shear deformation (“
- HSD”
) processed aluminum-zirconium alloy,wherein the HSD processed aluminum-zirconium alloy comprises about 0.1% or more, by weight, zirconium and exhibits;
an ultimate tensile strength of about 250 MPa or greater; and
an electrical conductivity of about 53% International Annealed Copper Standard (“
IACS”
) or greater when measured at 20°
