0.5*80mm Quality Supplier Ni60Cr15 Bright/ Oxidised Strip/ Coil Strip for Precision Resistors
The selection of electric heating materiales depends on inherent resistance to the current flow to produce heat. Copper wire doesn’t produce sufficiently heat when conducts electricity. Hence for an alloy as wire, rod, strip or ribbon to treat as an electric heating element it should oppose the flow of electricity.
Generally common steels and alloys like stainless steel prevent the electricity flow. This property term is known as resistivity. In North America, the tradition is to use ohms per circular mil ft to describe resistivity and this term has been following in the data. The technically suitable designation would be ohm.cmil/ft or ohm times circular mils per foot. In European countries, common unit of resistivity is ohm mm² per m.
NiCr 60:15 is a nickel-chromium-iron resistance alloy with heat resisting strength at high temperatures. This alloy is used in numerous domestic appliances and industrial resistors.
