Specifications thread: Diameter: 24 gauge / 0.5 mm. Shape: round. Alloy: Nichrome 80 (80% Ni, 19.5% Cr, 1.45% Si). Length: 100 feet. Heat treatment: annealed (soft) Melting temperature: 1400 ° C. Maximum continuous operating temperature: 1280°C. Resistance: 0.4907 Ohm/m at room temperature. Nichrome 80 Wire has a low temperature resistance coefficient and a minimal change in resistance during the service life. These features ensure faster warm-up times, more even operating temperatures and longer service life. The excellent mechanical stability minimizes variables in the element design, ensures even elongation in rolled form, and eliminates problems such as shrinkage, growth, sagging or deformation during use. This wire is intended for repair and maintenance of electronic components. Typical applications include industrial and hobby hot-wire foam cutters, internal support in ceramics, household and industrial heating appliances, diffusion stoves, dishwashers, hobs, electric blankets, hair dryers, kerosene fired appliances, kettles, refrigerators, rice cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines and electric heating elements in high-temperature furnaces used in heat treatment, glass, steel and the electronics industry.
