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 />
