Resistance Heating Wire, Nickel-Chromium Alloy, 80% Nickel/ 20% Chromium Muilti-strands 0.574mmx1
Product brief introduction:
NIC80 wire is a resistance heating wire comprised of 80% Nickel and 20% Chromium. NIC80 wire is commonly used as a resistor at elevated temperatures. NI/CR-80/20 is essential for resistor elements in high temperature applications such as electric furnaces, electric ranges and radiant heaters operating at temperatures up to 1150°C (2100°F).
In addition to these qualities and standard uses, it has found wide application in technical applications due to its combination of high electrical resistance and its temperature coefficient of resistance much less than that of Nickel-Chrome 60.
