Nickel (Ni): 35% (provides excellent high-temperature stability and good electrical resistivity).
Chromium (Cr): 20% (enhances oxidation resistance and improves strength at high temperatures).
Iron (Fe): The balance, used to enhance the overall mechanical properties of the alloy.
Carbon (C): Low content to improve machinability and prevent carbide precipitation during heat exposure.
Designed to withstand continuous exposure to temperatures up to 1100°C (2012°F).
Maintains strength and stability at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for resistive heating applications and other high-heat environments.
Oxidation Resistance: The alloy has a high degree of oxidation resistance due to the chromium content, which forms a stable oxide layer that prevents further oxidation.
Corrosion Resistance: With its significant chromium content, it also offers resistance to corrosion in many environments, particularly oxidizing atmospheres at high temperatures.
Stable Electrical Resistivity: Offers a predictable and stable resistance under high temperatures, making it ideal for heating elements, resistors, and thermocouples.
Good Heat Generation Efficiency: Due to its resistive properties, it generates heat efficiently when used in electrical heating applications.
Strength and Ductility: Provides good tensile strength at high temperatures and remains ductile enough for fabrication.
Thermal Fatigue Resistance: Resistant to thermal cycling, making it ideal for applications that undergo repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Weldable: Can be welded using standard welding techniques such as TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding, with minimal risk of cracking or other issues.
Formability: Easily drawn into wires, rods, and other shapes for a variety of applications, particularly in heating elements and electrical components.
