This effect is not present in manganin, as it has negligible temperature coefficient of resistance.

From 1900 the mercury ohm was replaced with a precision machined plate of manganin.

He invented two alloys, constantan and manganin.

Other alloys with similarly low temperature coefficients are known, such as manganin (CuMnNi).

Manganin wire is also used as an electrical conductor in cryogenic systems, minimizing heat transfer between points which need electrical connections.

After taking on food and ammunition at Mindoro, Twiggs briefly ran antisubmarine patrol off the entrance of Manganin Bay.

Between the blocks, and soldered or brazed to them, are one or more strips of low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) manganin alloy.

Manganin foil and wire is used in the manufacture of resistors, particularly ammeter shunts, because of its virtually zero temperature coefficient of resistance value and long term stability.

In this case the shunt, a manganin resistor of accurately known resistance, is placed in series with the load so that all of the current to be measured will flow through it.

The Thomas-type double manganin walled shunt and MI type (improved Thomas-type design) were used until the 1990s by NIST and other government labs as the legal reference of an ohm until the advent of the quantum Hall effect.

At 80 C thermal drift begins to occur, at 120 C thermal drift is a significant problem where error, depending on the design of the shunt, can be several percent and at 140 C the manganin alloy becomes permanently damaged due to annealing resulting in the resistance value drifting up or down.
