Abstract

In order to improve the stabilization and the heat-resistance of a strain gauge, the strain gauge is made of an amorphous alloy including Ni (nickel), Cr (Chromium) and Si (silicon). The amorphous alloy including Ni, Cr and Si has a high crystallization point, its temperature co-efficient of resistance is almost zero obtained by annealing. The amorphous alloy is stabilized from low to high temperatures and thus can be used from low to high temperatures without compensation. The amorphous alloy is a non-magnetic substance and the strain gauge thus is not substantially affected by external electromagnetic noise.
