Wires of silver, gold, and copper and some silver-copper and silver-gold alloys were stretched at room temperature, -80°C and at the liquid air point. The change of resistivity was determined as well as the recovery of resistivity on warming from the low temperatures to room temperature. The silver-

Abstract
The change in the electrical resistivity of polycrystalline silver and gold wires of 99.99% purity is measured when these wires are subjected to various simultaneous torsion and extension derformations at liquid nitrogen temperature. It is found that the increase in resistivity depends only on the total strain, irrespective of the individual amounts of torsion and extension. The resistivity increase as a function of strain, is given by Δϱ = A ϵ^2^ + B ϵ. The numerical values lead to estimates of the point defect, or dislocation concentration resulting from the deformation.
