FACTS ABOUT NICHROME WIRE

Nichrome is a high grade austenitic alloy and has unique characteristics. It heats up quickly when electricity is applied. It is a versatile metal which has an ability to withstand high temperatures. The nichrome wire is used in many of the applications where it requires the wire to be hot and the applications need high temperature.

Nichrome is an alloy which is made from the combination of nickel and chrome. The wire which is manufactured with a combination of various metals is called alloys and has their own uses depending on the characteristic of the metal used in them. The wire is used in large quality by the manufacturers so as to make heating coils or elements for household and industrial use. One can find it in toasters, hair dryers, heaters and many other appliances.The uses and application of nichrome wire depends on the ability of it to conduct electricity, its strength, its flexibility and the ability to withstand heat.

The Nichrome wire is used for ceramics to hold kilns together. It also helps in holding the pottery together while baking. It does not melt or break even at the extreme high temperatures. One can make a cutter by using a heated nichrome wire for blade for cutting foams and plastics. The hot wire blade cuts cleaner and neater than a saw or knife.

With the application of specific voltage some of the nichrome wire heats up rapidly. This helps in making safe electric igniters for fireworks and model rockets. When electricity is applied the wire heats up quickly but it also cools rapidly when it is shut off or is removed from a heat source. The strength of the wire is maintained as the temperature rises and has a high melting point in comparison to other wires. The wire does not oxidize or corrode and is non-magnetic and highly flexible.

The nichrome wire is used to make coils for heating elements. In case of home use, the nichrome wire coils is used to provide rapid heat in appliances in which rapid heat is needed to be provided in appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, toasters, space heaters, toaster ovens and irons. In industrial use it is used in variety of heating elements like ovens of all size and in appliances where heat is directly to be applied on the surfaces like sealing plastic packages.
