Abstract

Abstract A resistor comprises iridium and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of silicon, bismuth, lead, tin, aluminum, boron, titanium, zirconium, calcium and barium. A process for producing the resistor comprises the steps of coating a solution of an iridium containing organometallic material onto a substrate and subsequently firing the coated solution. The resistor is used as a heating resistor of a thermal head.
