Also OCC wire has an added bonus -
"In 1986 the Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC) Process was developed by professor Ohno of the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan. The wire made by this process ... has one crystal boundary per 6.5 km on avearge. Normal wire has a crystal boundary perhaps every 10 mm."
So OCC wire has no crystal boundry to jump across.

And what happens to that 3 mile crystal when you bend the wire?

  What happens when you bend it?
  Not much it just bends.
  Just because they use the term crystal
  doesn't mean it shatters.
  Think of soldering vs welding.
  Both can still bend without breaking.
  "Normal" wire are pieces soldered together.
  OCC wire is more like welded together.
  It's forged as one piece of wire miles long.
  The conductor can still bend without
  breaking the crystal.

"has one crystal boundary per 6.5 km on avearge"

One every 6.5 KILOMETERS??? One every (roughly) 3 and 1/2 MILES??

Even 10 mm is HUGE - are you sure that quote is correct? Because if it is correctly quoted then let me be the first to raise the red flag on it!

  Here are some others that have heard the difference.
  I am sure at least one of them you'll respect.

    That's not what I questioned Dan - a single crystal over 3 miles long is what I question!! :~)

      It is forged as one piece miles long.
      Then cooled so that it stays integrated.
