Abstract
A vitreous enamel resistance material including a mixture of a vitreous glass frit and fine particles of a conductor which is an alloy of nickel and chromium. The conductor particles are present in the amount of 28 to 80% by weight. Up to 3% by weight of titanium and/or titanium nitride may be included in the resistance material to adjust the temperature coefficient of resistance of the material.
Claims12
A vitreous enamel resistor composition adapted to be applied to and fired on a ceramic body to form electrical resistors comprising a mixture of a glass frit and finely divided particles of an alloy of nickel and chromium, the particles of the alloy being present in the mixture in the amount of approximately 28 to 80% by weight, and said alloy containing approximately 75 to 80% by weight of nickel and approximately 20% by weight of chromium.
An electrical resistor having a resistivity in the range of approximately 2 to 20 ohms per square, comprising a nonconductive ceramic body, a resistive film of glass on a surface of the body, and fine particles of an alloy containing approximately 75 to 80% by weight of nickel and approximately 20% by weight of chromium embedded within and dispersed throughout the glass film, the alloy being present in the resistive film in the amount of approximately 28 to 80% by weight.
