Manganin

(ˈmæŋɡənɪn)
n
(Metallurgy) trademark an alloy of copper containing manganese (13–18 per cent) and nickel (1–4 per cent): it has a high electrical resistance that does not vary greatly with temperature and is used in resistors

A significant difference between the designs of these high-current shunts from known (for example, described in [6]) is the use in them instead of a thin-walled (with a thickness of not more than 0.3 mm) high-resistance manganin disk from which the drop in the pulsed voltage from the passage of a measured current pulse is taken, a disk of thickness of 1 to 2 mm from stainless steel 12X18H10T [10, 11].
Cabalin and Laserna [26] used pulsed laser deposition to coat silicon with manganin. They produced multielemental maps to monitor the coating constituents.
Manganin was developed about 1890 and is an alloy of copper, manganese, and nickel, nominally 84%, 12%, and 4%, respectively.
1) Standard resistor calibration: The 0.1 ohm standard resistor is a commercial, double-walled manganin resistor (17) manufactured in 1913.
The structure of this shunt includes a manganin measuring disk with a thickness [h.sub.s] [approximately equal to] 0.3 mm with an external diameter [D.sub.se] [approximately equal to] 80 mm, which determines the impulse resistance of the shunt, which is approximately [R.sub.S] [approximately equal to] 0.185 m[OHM] [+ or -] 1% [3, 7].
If worrying about the effect of barometric pressure changes on the lattice structure of your Manganin or Evanohm standard resistors is keeping you awake nights, help is on the way.
Heat-treated manganin wire resistors developed by Thomas incorporated hermetically-sealed, double-walled enclosures, with the resistance element in thermal contact with the inner wall of the container to improve heat dissipation.
