Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to an electric solenoid ( 10 ) comprising at least one solenoid body ( 11 ) and a magnet wire ( 25; 25 a ) surrounding the solenoid body ( 11 ) in the form of at least one winding on a peripheral surface ( 16 ) of said solenoid body ( 11 ), the magnet wire ( 25; 25 a ) consisting of an electrically conductive wire core ( 23 ) and an insulation layer ( 26 ) which at least partially surrounds the wire core ( 23 ). According to the invention, the wire core ( 23 ) consists of aluminium ( 21 ) and graphene ( 22 ) which is in electrically conductive contact with the aluminium ( 21 ).
