Abstract

Abstract Window panes are provided with electrically conductive wires. At the desired small diameter of less than 50 micrometers the wires which have been used so far have too high a resistance per unit length. The invention provides a sufficiently strong, thin electrically conducting wire having an electric resistivity from 2.0-5.0μ Ω cm.
