Table - resistivity of nichrome wire

Relevance

Nichrome is a durable, malleable, corrosion-resistant chromium alloy with nickel. It is designed for operation at t ° around 1000 ° C in aggressive industrial environments. High malleability allows you to roll it into the thinnest wire, tape for resistors, rheostats — any electric heating devices and resistance units, to which high reliability requirements are imposed.

Nichrome is an ideal material

High specific resistivity, heat resistance, allow us to use nichrome for heating elements, its resistance even at a significant temperature increase does not fall. Due to flexibility, nichrome wire can be twisted by a spiral, which is used in glow units. The durability of such electric heating elements is explained by the strength of this alloy, which can withstand considerable mechanical stresses, as well as corrosion resistance in aggressive media and high yield strength, which allows the use of a nichrome thread of minimum diameter. Compared to tungsten, nichrome is more than 2 times lighter, which gives the design a significant gain in weight.

Production

Due to the viscosity and ductility of nichrome, cheaper «cold» rolling methods can be used to produce the yarn from this material. Finished thread is wound on reels or folded in coils. The diameter of such a thread is 0.1−10 mm. The combination of plasticity, high yield strength, resistance to aggressive media, makes it widely in demand for the production of industrial and household electrical equipment.

Marking

The letter C means that the wire is used for resistance elements, marking H — that such a wire is used in the design of heating elements. The abbreviation TEN speaks about the use of nichrome for tubular electric heaters.
