Electrical resistivity of titanium in the temperature range from 290 to 1800 K

Studies into the electrical resistivity of titanium in the solid state are reviewed, analyzed, and generalized. The experimental data in the high-temperature region of the alpha-phase (290-1150 K) are approximated by an equation obtained within the two-band model approximation, and in the region of the beta-phase-by linear dependence. The calculation results reveal the regularities of the effect of the defect concentration due to impurities and dislocations on the conductivity of titanium at high temperatures.
