This paper deals with experimental and analytical investigations of the influence of thermomechanical processing conditions on the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of PdNi5 alloy, in the form of wire ? 0.15 mm, for making catalysts-catchers. Obtained results showed that mechanical properties and electrical conductivity depend on the applied regime of thermomechanical processing. Knowing the dependence of influence of parameters of thermomechanical processing regime on these properties enables the production of PdNi5 alloy with required characteristics for use in the process of catalytic oxidation of ammonia, that is solving problems of loss of platinum metals, especially platinum. The results of analytical investigations of influence of thermomechanical processing regime, by software package SPSS, on tensile strength, elongation and electrical conductivity of PdNi5 alloy in the form of wire ? 0.15 mm showed that using a linear regression model the mutual influences of selected parameters of thermomechanical treatment on mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of PdNi5 alloy, can be adequately described and analyzed. The results showed that tensile strength and electrical conductivity were only slightly affected with a change of temperature and time of annealing while annealing time has significant influence on the elongation value.
