Nichrome Wire - High-temperature Resistance Alloy, 80% Nickel 20% Chromium, Corrosion-resistant, Ideal For Electric Heating Elements And Ceramic Support Structures

We are engaged in offering excellent quality Nichrome Wire to our valuable clients. Nichrome is a non-magnetic alloy of nickel, chromium, and often iron, usually used as a resistance wire. Patented in 1905, it is the oldest documented form of resistance heating alloy. A common alloy is 80% nickel and 20% chromium, by mass, but there are many others to accommodate various applications. It is silvery-grey in colour, is corrosion-resistant, and has a high melting point of about 1400 A C (2552 A F). Due to its relatively high electrical resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, it is widely used in electric heating elements, such as in hair dryers, electric ovens, soldering iron, toasters. Typically, Nichrome is wound in coils to a certain electrical resistance, and current is passed through to produce heat.

Industrial and hobby hot wire foam cutters use nichrome wire.
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 clay work is fired in a kiln.

Clients can avail this Nichrome Wire at industry leading prices from us.
