8020 Nichrome Wire Thin Nickel Chrome Wire For Heating Element

Features:

• High Electrical Resistivity
• Excellent Oxidation Resistance
• Low Temperature Coefficient of Resistance
• Annealed Soft Temper
• Ultra fine diameter

Description:

This nickel‑chromium resistance wire delivers excellent specific resistance, superior anti‑oxidant behavior, and consistent function in high‑temperature environments. With a nominal composition of 80% nickel and 20% chromium, it endures continuous exposure to nearly 1200°C without deterioration. Its good formability allows intricate winding and shaping, while mechanical integrity persists through fluctuating heat loads. The alloy’s innate protection against scaling and chemical erosion suits it for electric heaters and thermal devices.

Specifications:

Applications:

• Heating Elements: Electric furnaces, industrial ovens, heat treatment equipment, kilns, and cartridge heaters.
• Household Appliances: Toasters, hair dryers, electric irons, water heaters, and rice cookers.
• Electronics: Wire‑wound resistors, rheostats, load banks, and precision potentiometers.
• Aerospace & Defense: De‑icing systems, high‑temperature sensor leads, and engine ignition components.
• Laboratory Equipment: Muffle furnaces, tube furnaces, heating mantles, and thermal analyzers.
• Automotive: Glow plugs, heated mirrors, seat heaters, and exhaust gas sensors.

FAQ

Q1: Which grade should I choose for my application?

A: For maximum operating temperature up to 1300°C, choose Cr10Ni90. For general heating elements up to 1200°C, Cr20Ni80 is the industry standard. For cost sensitive projects with lower temperature requirements (≤1100°C), consider Cr20Ni35 or Cr20Ni30.

Q2: Can I get a sample before bulk order?

A: Yes, free samples of any grade are available upon request if in stock. You only pay shipping.

Q3: What is the lead time?

A: Samples ready in 2–3 days. Mass production takes 7–20 working days depending on quantity and grade.

Q4: Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: MOQ is 5 kgs.

Q5: How do you prevent the wire from tangling during shipping?

A: We wind on anti static plastic spools and seal in protective boxes. Each spool is inspected under magnification.

Q6: Do you offer a warranty?

A: Yes, 12 month warranty against manufacturing defects. Mill Test Reports (MTRs) are available with full batch traceability.
