Nichrome is a unique alloy of nickel and chromium. Ni has the ability to dissolve other metals, maintaining excellent ductility, heat resistance, high corrosion resistance in aggressive liquid or gaseous media. Heat resistance is enhanced by chromium. It is distinguished by hardness and corrosion resistance. Nichrome tape also contains other elements: manganese, titanium, silicon, phosphorus, but their total share is less than 1%.

Properties

Nichrome is characterized by high electrical resistance and a melting point of almost 1500 °C. The higher the proportion of nickel, the more heat nichrome withstands. Nichrome X20H80 is used at up to 1200 °C, and nichrome X15H60 up to 1125 °C. Ribbon resistance to corrosion, high specific electrical resistance, minimum thermal expansion coefficient make it indispensable for high-temperature heating elements, working reliably in any, even aggressive environment. Nichrome, thanks to its remarkable ductility, can be rolled to the thinnest foil. The low density of only 8.4 g/cm³ gives significant savings on weight. It should hardly be considered a disadvantage that nichrome has a high price, because you should consider reliability, durability, the need for minimal maintenance.

Manufacturing

According to GOST standards, nichrome tape has a thickness of 0.1 millimeter. It is rolled by cold rolling or electrolytic method. Nichrome tape is supplied in coils with the length of ten, twenty or forty meters. If the thickness is greater than 0.1 mm, the tape is manufactured in thermal soft state.

Applications

Nichrome ribbon is widely used to convert electricity to heat, indispensable in resistance nodes, starting rheostats resistant to vibration, compact, relatively light weight. Another important area is the crane starting resistor units, which are included in the circuits of electric motors for a smoother start. They regulate the rate of acceleration and deceleration of both DC and AC motors. Nichrome X20H80 (20% Cr + 80% Ni) tape is most commonly used by modern industry:

- for thermocouples of industrial firing furnaces, electric part heating dryers;

- In household electric heaters;

- Household or industrial water heaters.

Nichrome ribbon of Х15Н60 grade is used in the production of non-precision (without special requirements to the accuracy) resistors. This is due to the economic side, because the price of this grade is lower. Generally, Nichrome is used for the elements of electrical equipment of high reliability.

The price depends on the fluctuating cost of nickel, chromium. Thanks to our website, you have the opportunity to become more familiar with the products, learn about the characteristics and properties, methods of processing and production of the alloy of interest, order the necessary goods. On our site presents nichrome products, including nichrome wire, which is easy to buy through our managers.

The strip

Nichrome strip has a high specific electrical resistance and a minimum thermal coefficient of electrical resistance. These properties along with high heat resistance determine its use for the production of high-temperature heating elements,

Nichrome strip Kh20H80 grade is used in the production of:

- Electric heating elements designed for long-term operation at t° up to 1250 ° C in the open air

- rheostats

- band resistors.
