Nickel Chrome Wire

Nickel Chrome Wire is a name for a Nickel-Chrome Wire, a non-magnetic alloy of Nickel and Chrome. A common alloy is 80% nickel and 20% chromium by weight, but there are many others to accommodate various applications, such as: Cr20Ni80 Cr30Ni70 Cr15Ni60 Cr20Ni35 Cr20Ni30. It is silvery-grey in color, is corrosion resistant, and has a high melting point of about 1400 °C (2552 °F). Nickel Chrome Wire has relatively high resistivity and very good resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. The ultimate tensile strength of Nickel Chrome Wire is 105,000 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch), yield strength is around 50,000 PSI, and modulus of elasticity is 31 x 106 PSI.

Nickel Chrome Wires have many advantages, such as deformation ability, thermal stability, mechanical character, shockproof ability in thermal state and anti-oxidization. For heating, resistance wire must be stable in air when hot. Nickel Chrome Wire forms a protective layer of chromium oxide. Due to Nickel Chrome Wire's relatively high resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures.

Nickel Chrome Wire is widely used in heating elements, electric furnace heating and heat-treating processes in the chemical, mechanical, metallurgical and defense industries, such as in hair dryers, electric ovens, toasters, vacuum coating, inner components of vacuum valves, etching resistor, brake resistor, tube heater, sealer, boiler and even electronic cigarettes.

Nickel Chrome Wire is wound in coils to a certain electrical resistance, and current passed through to produce heat. They are also used as material of industrial equipment and electrical resistant elements in the electronics and light textile industries.Nickel Chrome Wire is an ideal material, because it has relatively high resistance and forms an adherent layer of chromium oxide when it is heated for the first time. Material beneath the wire will not oxidize, preventing the wire from breaking or burning out.

Nickel Chrome Wire is good for anti-corrosion and high resistant co-efficiency. Nickel Chrome Wire is applicable for heat treatment, air-carbon furnace, chemical industry, machinery, metallurgy. Nickel Chrome 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.Nickel Chrome Wire'smetallurgical structure confers them a very good plasticity when cold. There is a growth of the grain under heat during utilization of the element without inducing embrittlement of it when cold.

Nickel Chrome Wires are used for the manufacture of electric resistances for appliances (insulated elements type tubular resistances or for example opened elements on micanit plate) or for application of industrial furnaces. In addition of a relatively high specific resistance, Ni-Cr alloys join all the necessary properties for good performances in use of furnaces: Resistance to oxidation (they are not sensitive to aggressions of humid air). Low embrittlement at high temperature Good plasticity – Easier to give them a shape compared with Fe Cr Al (lower mechanical characteristics allow indeed a good control of elasticity of the product during shaping (coiling, folding, drawing). Good resistance to creeping (more important than ferritic alloys) which is important during conception of a resistance presenting big heights of waves. Maximal temperature recommended in the furnace: 1922 / 2012 °F in order to obtain a reasonable life time of the elements
