Wire diameter: 0.025mm to 6.00mm. Nichrome 60 Wire, also known as Nikrothal 60, can be used at operating temperatures up to 1000°C. Nichrome 60 has excellent hot strength, good oxidation properties and very good formability. Nichrome 60 has good corrosion resistance except in sulphur containing atmospheres and certain controlled atmospheres (See the reason here). Nichrome 60 can be used as electric heating elements in domestic appliances and furnace applications up to high temperature. Typical applications for Nichrome 60 are in metal sheathed tubular elements used in grills, toaster ovens, storage heaters, etc and as suspended coils in air heaters used in clothes dryers, fan heaters, hand dryers.

    Nichrome 80 Wire is a high grade austenitic alloy. Due to its ductibility and strength at high temperature, Nichrome 80 is especially suitable for applications in the electrical appliance industry. In industrial furnace use Nichrome 80 has many advantages due to its excellent mechanical properties in the hot state. Nichrome 80 has superior life compared to competitive NiCr alloys because of the extremely good adhesion properties of the surface oxide. Typical applications for Nichrome 80 are ironing machines, water heaters, plastic moulding dies, soldering irons, metal sheathed tubular elements, cartridge elements and so on. Specifications
