Nichrome 80-25' - 22 Gauge Wire - 25ft - 0.65mm - 0.025in - Master Wire Supply

Description

**Wire Specifications:** - Diameter: 22 Gauge / 0.64mm - Shape: Round - Alloy: Nichrome 80 (80% Ni, 19.5% Cr, 1.45% Si) - Length: 25 ft. - Heat Treatment: Annealed (soft) - Melting Temperature: 2552°F / 1400°C - Maximum Continuous Operating Temperature: 2150°F / 1180°C - Resistance: 1.016 Ohms/ft at room temperature Nichrome 80 Wire has a low temperature coefficient of resistance and minimal change in resistance during its service life. These properties ensure faster heat-up times, more uniform operating temperatures, and a longer useful life. Its excellent mechanical stability minimizes variables in element design, ensures even stretch in coiled form, and eliminates problems such as shrinkage, growth, sag, or distortion in use. This wire is intended for the repair and maintenance of electronic components. Typical applications include industrial and hobby hot-wire foam cutters, internal support in ceramics, home and industrial heaters, diffusion heaters, dishwashers, cooking plates, electric blankets, hair dryers, kerosene-fired appliances, kettles, refrigerators, rice cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines, and electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces used in heat treatment, glass, steel, and electronics industries.
