Electrical Properties of Materials for Elevated Temperature Resistance Strain Gage Application.

摘要

The objective was to study the electrical resistances of materials that are potentially useful as resistance strain gages at 1000 C. Transition metal carbides and nitrides, boron carbide and silicon carbide were selected for the experimental phase of this research. Due to their low temperature coefficient of resistance and good stability, TiC, ZrC, B (sub 4) C and beta-SiC are suggested as good candidates for high temperature resistance strain gage applications.
