Question:

A 95 wt% Pt-5 wt% Ni alloy is known to have an electrical resistivity of 2.35 x 10-7 ohm-m at room temperature (25oC). Calculate the composition of a platinum-nickel alloy that gives a room-temperature resistivity of 1.75 x 10-7 ohm-m. The room-temperature resistivity of pure platinum may be determined from the data in Table 18.1; assume that platinum and nickel form a solid solution.
