Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Pickling increases the instability of manganin, as a result of hydrogen absorption by metal. This corroborates the “hydrogen” theory on the instability of precision resistance alloys advanced by us.

  2. 2.

    The immersion of the alloy in oil contributes to the removal of adsorbed hydrogen and facilitates hydrogen diffusion from the alloy, increasing its stability.

  3. 3.

    Intensive agitation of oil at the metal surface by means of ultrasonic vibrations has a considerable stabilizing effect.
