Nikrothal® 80 NiCr Resistance Wire – Genuine Product* – Coming soon

Description

NiCr alloys (Nickel-Chromium) are widely used in heating elements where mechanical flexibility and stable resistance are required. They offer excellent ductility at oxidized state and perform very well under repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Maximum continuous element operating temperature: 1200⁰C

Electrical resistivity (20°C): 1.09 Ω·mm² m^-1

Density: 8.4 g/cm³

Emissivity in fully oxidized condition: 0.88

Non magnetic

Composition: 20% Cr – 80Ni

NOTE: The data above are extracted from the producer (Kanthal) official datasheets.

Key Advantages

• Excellent workability and formability
• Have higher hot and creep strength than FeCrAl alloys
• Very good oxidation resistance
• Remain ductile after long use
• Moderate resistivity increase rate versus temperature (7% at 1200C)
• Good resistance to thermal cycling – frequent heating cycles
• Ideal for compact and dynamic heating systems
• Fully oxidized NiCr alloys have a higher emissivity than FeCrAl alloys. Thus, at the same surface load the element temperature of NiCr alloy is somewhat lower
• NiCr alloys have better wet corrosion resistance at room temperature than FeCrAl alloys
• In certain low-temperature applications a non-magnetic material is preferred. NiCr alloys are non-magnetic

Typical Applications

• Cartridge heaters
• Tubular heaters
• Household appliances (ovens, dryers, toasters)
• Hot-wire cutting systems
• Laboratory heating equipment
• OEM heating assemblies
