List of High Resistivity Materials | Electrical Engineering

The various high resistivity materials (including alloys) are described below: 1. Tungsten: (i) Hard metal. (ii) Resistivity twice that of aluminium. (iii) Can be drawn into very thin wires (for making filaments). The thinner the tungsten wire, the greater is its tensile strength. (iv) In the atmosphere or inert gas (Nitrogen, Argon etc.) or in vacuum, tungsten can be readily [...]
