Nichrome Alloy Wire Introduction
Cr15Ni60 is an ideal material, it has good ductility,workability and weldability under high temperature and seismic strength.
Nickel-chromium alloy with high and stable resistance, corrosion resistance, surface oxidation resistance, excellent coil-forming ability.
Property:
Not becoming brittle after long-term use and cooling down;Resistance to oxidation: Most metals oxidize quickly and become brittle and break when heated in air. However, when heated to red-hot temperatures, nichrome wire, develops an outer layer of chromium oxide, which is thermodynamically stable in air, is mostly impervious to oxygen, and protects the heating element from further oxidation.Good Ductility: remaining ductile, even after long-term usage;Excellent weldability and etc.
