Applications of NiCr Alloy Wires: Nickel-chromium materials have high high temperature strength and strong plasticity. Widely used in industrial electric furnaces, household appliances, far-infrared devices. Nickel-chromium and iron, aluminum, silicon, carbon, sulfur and other elements can be made into alloy nickel-chromium wire with high resistivity and heat resistance. It is the electric heating element of electric stove, electric soldering iron, electric iron, etc. Advantages of Nickel-Chromium Wire: The resistance is relatively high, the surface layer has good oxidation resistance, and the compressive strength is maintained better than that of iron-chromium-aluminum wire under high temperature natural environment, and high temperature operation is not easy to produce deformation. Nickel-chromium wire has good plastic deformation, very good processing characteristics and forge-ability, easy to produce and process, easy to repair and difficult to change in structure. In addition, nickel-chromium wire has high emissivity, good corrosion resistance and long application period.
