Silver, although it is the least resistive metal known, has a high density and performs similarly to copper by this measure, but is much more expensive. Calcium and the alkali metals have the best resistivity-density products, but are rarely used for conductors due to their high reactivity with water and oxygen (and lack of physical strength).
This alloy has, for example, an adequately high strain sensitivity, or gauge factor, which is relatively insensitive to strain level and temperature. Its resistivity (5.00 × 10 −7 Ω·m) [2] is high enough to achieve suitable resistance values in even very small grids, and its temperature coefficient of resistance is fairly low.
No other metal is verified to be more naturally diamagnetic than bismuth. [19] [22] (Superdiamagnetism is a different physical phenomenon.) Of any metal, it has one of the lowest values of thermal conductivity (after manganese, neptunium and plutonium) and the highest Hall coefficient. [23] It has a high electrical resistivity. [19]
The resistivity of different materials varies by an enormous amount: For example, the conductivity of teflon is about 10 30 times lower than the conductivity of copper. Loosely speaking, this is because metals have large numbers of "delocalized" electrons that are not stuck in any one place, so they are free to move across large distances.
Tantalum is a chemical element; it has symbol Ta and atomic number 73. It is named after Tantalus, a figure in Greek mythology. [11] Tantalum is a very hard, ductile, lustrous, blue-gray transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. It is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as components of strong high-melting ...
Electrical conductivity is a measure of how well a material transports an electric charge.This is an essential property in electrical wiring systems. Copper has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals: the electrical resistivity of copper = 16.78 nΩ•m at 20 °C.
The typical properties is dependent on its composition. The mixture with less wt.% of copper has higher density, higher hardness, and higher resistivity. The typical density of CuW90, with 10% of copper, is 16.75 g/cm 3 and 11.85 g/cm 3 for CuW50 . CuW90 has higher hardness and resistivity of 260 HB kgf/mm 2 and 6.5 μΩ.cm than CuW50.
