1.0-2.5mm Cr20Ni80 bright wire refers to another type of resistance heating wire made from the alloy known as Nichrome. Nichrome is an alloy composed primarily of nickel (around 80%) and chromium (around 20%), with small amounts of other elements like iron. It’s valued for its high resistivity, good oxidation resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures.
Here’s a breakdown of the specifications:
- “Cr20” indicates that the alloy contains approximately 20% chromium.
- “Ni80” denotes that the alloy contains approximately 80% nickel.
The term “bright wire” suggests that the wire has a shiny or reflective surface finish, which can be advantageous for certain applications.
The wire diameter range of 1.0-2.5mm indicates the thickness of the wire, with diameters ranging from 1.0mm to 2.5mm.
This type of wire is commonly used in various heating applications where higher power requirements or thicker wire diameters are needed. It finds applications in industrial heating elements, kilns, ovens, and other high-temperature equipment.
As with any resistance heating wire, it’s important to consider safety precautions, especially regarding high temperatures and electrical resistance, when working with 1.0-2.5mm Cr20Ni80 bright wire.
