Abstract
OBSERVATIONS of electrical resistivity increases in metals during plastic deformation1 have been attributed to changes in the concentration of point, line and planar defects. Further experiments have demonstrated that prior deformation and recovery2 as well as impurity concentration3,4 affect the slope of the resistivity–elongation curves. It is the purpose of this communication to present some results obtained on cadmium containing impurities. The influence of lead, magnesium and copper, in particular, is discussed.
