“…It was shown that phase transitions in Ti alloys can be detected by means of electrical resistance measurement, which is particularly sensitive to evolution of !-phase particles (Yoshida & Tsuya, 1956;Luhman et al, 1968;Ho & Collings, 1972;Hill & Polonis, 1987;Ikeda et al, 1988;Prima et al, 2000;Gloriant et al, 2008;Bruneseaux et al, 2008;Zhá ň al et al, 2015Zhá ň al et al, , 2016Zhá ň al et al, , 2017Zhá ň al et al, , 2018Harcuba et al, 2016;Vá clavová et al, 2017). The Matthiessen rule states that the total resistivity tot ðTÞ at any measured temperature T can be written as the sum of two components tot ðTÞ ¼ 0 þ h ðTÞ, where 0 is the temperature-independent residual (i.e.…”
