The values given for Advance in Table 1 indicate a<br />
peculiar property in this metal. The temperature coefficient<br />
is negative over the lower ranges of temperatures,<br />
increases slowly between 200 and 400 deg. C.<br />
and rapidly thereafter. Not all samples of Advance,<br />
however, give negative temperature coefficients in the<br />
lower range. The presence of impurities in the metal<br />
may yield a material with a low positive coefficient<br />
over this lower range. But the rapid rise in temperature<br />
coefficient in the higher ranges of temperature is<br />
general in all cases.<br />
Alloy No. 141 is peculiarly susceptible to heat treatment.<br />
A sample of the material when slowly cooled<br />
after annealing gives a much lower specific resistance<br />
and a higher temperature coefficient than one which<br />
has not been so treated. The values reported in Table<br />
I are for the second heat on wire which was slowly<br />
cooled after being taken up to 1000 deg. C. After this<br />
treatment the wire appears to be stable for further<br />
cycles of heat. Slight variations in the impurities also<br />

have a very considerable effect. Therefore, while this<br />
alloy is excellent as a high-resistance material, it is<br />
difficult to reproduce in commercial production.<br />
Alloy No. 193, as will be seen from Table I, is an<br />
exceedingly good resistor up to 500 deg. C. and has<br />
received in consequence wide application. The resistance-temperature<br />
curve for this material is plotted in<br />
Fig. 2.<br />
Group B.—Materials Available for Temperatures<br />
In Excess of 500° C.<br />
The second group includes all those alloys which<br />
are essentially combinations of nickel, iron and<br />
chromium in various proportions. Most of these alloys<br />
have been worked under a patent granted to Marsh<br />
in February, 1906, which has now expired. These<br />
alloys are remarkable in that they possess very high<br />
specific resistances and resist oxidation at high temperatures<br />
to a very rrtarked degree. The specific<br />
resistances and temperature coefficients at room tern-<br />
