About Nichrome 80
Nichrome 80 (Nickel 80%, Chromium 20%) resistance alloy is an ideal electrical heating material that can be used up to 2150oF or 1200oC. It has suitable hot strength and extremely high electrical resistance. Nichrome 80 alloy (Strip and Wire) produces a strong chromium oxide layer upon heating that provides outstanding oxidation resistance at the elevated temperatures. It has high melting temperature about 1350oC. Nichrome wire offers a special resistance range of 5500 ohm/m.
We offer fine gauge wire for a broad range of applications including low temperature heating in the electronic equipments such as variable frequency controller for example potentiometers, pressure transducers, detonators, ceramic resistance, wire wound resistance, lead wire and also strings for musical instruments.
Nichrome 80 resistance heating alloy is suitable for reconstructing your atomizer and is particularly excellent for sub-ohm coils. It has smaller resistance per unit length than Kanthal hence it heats up more quickly and is recommended over Kanthal for various applications.
Industrial Nomenclatures: W.NR 2.486, nichrome resistance alloy, chromel A, Nichrome V, UNS N06003
Nichrome 80 Specification: ASTM-B-344, ASTM B267
Nichrome 80 Applications
Electrical appliances, irons, water heaters, soldering apparatus, metal sheath tubular elements, cartridges, plastic moulds, aerospace industry, medical diagnostics and precision heating processes
Nichrome resistance wire is exclusively made to produce heat. It prevents the flow of current and transforms electric energy into heat energy. It is used in ovens, heaters, resistors, toasters and other industrial heating applications. So nichrome 80 is an indispensable part of the heating operations.
