Our high-quality nichrome wire offers excellent performance, is resistant to high temperatures and oxidation, and is extremely durable. Nichrome wire is one of our most popular products; browse our standard products below, or request customizations.
What is Nichrome Wire?
Nichrome wire is the commonly used term for nickel chromium wire. Nichrome wire is an alloy, meaning it is made from multiple metallic elements.
Nichrome wire is corrosion resistant, silver in color, and is available in many sizes and alloy variations.
Nichrome wire is also referred to as bare nickel chromium wire, heater wire, and element wire, so if you have an interest in any of these, you’re in the right place.
Nichrome 80
Our nichrome wire benefits from the perfect balance of chemical properties; it is comprised of 80% nickel and 20% chromium. Nichrome wire with this make-up is often referred to as Nichrome 80.
What Does Nichrome Wire Do?
Nichrome wire is the go-to resistance wire for numerous applications, as it has many beneficial properties. It is heat resistant, offers excellent temperature ratings, has an impressively high melting point, and has an exceptional ability to resist corrosion.
Nichrome wire is commonly used in heating applications for tools, for example in hot-wire foam cutters and soldering irons. Additionally, it is used in appliances found in our homes, for example, your toaster may contain nichrome heating wire. It can even be used for jewelry making, by dental practices offering fillings, and in vaping and electronic cigarette coils.
In the majority of applications, nichrome wire is wound; our coil winding team can also take care of winding custom nichrome wire coils for you.
An Excellent Choice for Resistance Wire
Nichrome wire is an excellent choice for resistance wire, as it has the ability to resist electrical current and generate heat. Nichrome, stainless steel, and other metal alloys are most commonly chosen for resistance wire and are utilized for making electrical resistors and heating elements. You can find more information about the resistance of our nichrome wire within each product description, as it differs depending on the gauge you need. Click the “Specifications” tab on the product you’re interested in to see the nichrome 80 wire resistance at 20°C (68°F), as well as the temperature rating, melting point, and tensile strength. You can also use our nichrome 80 resistance chart for quick and easy comparison.
