Cr20Ni80 / 80Ni20Cr / NiCr8020 Durable Alloy Wire Strand For Electric Power Generation And Chemical Processing
Cr20Ni80 (80Ni20Cr / NiCr8020) alloy wire strand is a high-performance nickel-chromium alloy known for its excellent electrical resistance, high-temperature strength, and oxidation resistance. Comprising approximately 80% nickel and 20% chromium, this alloy is widely used in electrical heating elements, industrial furnaces, and resistors. It offers superior resistance to corrosion and thermal fatigue, making it ideal for demanding applications requiring stable performance at elevated temperatures. The alloy exhibits a high melting point (~1400°C) and maintains mechanical integrity in harsh environments. Its excellent ductility and workability allow for easy fabrication into various forms, including stranded wire for enhanced flexibility and strength. Commonly used in heating cables, resistance wire, and industrial heating systems, NiCr8020 provides reliable and long-lasting performance. Its low thermal expansion and resistance to oxidation make it a preferred choice for high-temperature applications across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics.
