Ni80Cr20 Nichrome electrical resistance Wire

Ni80Cr20 Nichrome electrical resistance Wire

Material: Cr20Ni80

Description:

Ni80Cr20 is a nickel-chromium alloy (NiCr alloy) for use at temperatures up to 1200°C (2190°F). The alloy is characterized by high resistivity, good oxidation resistance and very good form stability. It has good ductility after use and excellent weldability.

Ni80Cr20 is used for making electric heating elements in home appliances and industrial furnaces. Typical applications are flat irons, ironing machines, water heaters, plastic moulding dies, soldering irons, metal sheathed tubular elements and cartridge elements.

Chemical Composition & Property:

Size:

wires: dia 0.06-10mm                   Ribbons:0.05*0.2-2.0*6.0mm

Strips:0.5*5.0-5.0*250mm       Bars:D10-100mm 

Application: Nichrome, a non-magnetic alloy of nickel and chromium, is commonly used to make resistance wire because it has a high resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. When used as a heating element, resistance wire is usually wound into coils.

Nichrome wire is commonly used in ceramics as an internal support structure to help some elements of clay sculptures hold their shape while they are still soft. Nichrome wire is used because of its ability to withstand the high temperatures that occur when a clay work is fired in a kiln.
