Resistance Heater Wire Nikrothal 80 38 AWG 0.004"
Ideal for students researchers, hobbyists, and engineers for making small resistors, making heating elements, Kanthal NiCr alloys
Max. continuous operating temp. 1200 C(2190 F); Resistivity at 20ºC (68ºF) 1.09 (656) Ω mm2/m (Ω/cmf) Nikrothal 80 is a high grade austenitic alloy. Due to its malleability and strength at high temperatures, Nikrothal 80 is especially suited for applications in the electrical appliance industry. In industrial furnace use Nikrothal 80 has many advantages due to its excellent mechanical properties in the hot state. Nikrothal 80 has superior life compared to competitive NiCr alloys because of the extremely good adhesion properties of the surface oxide.
Typical applications for Nikrothal 80 are flat irons, ironing machines, water heaters, plastic moulding dies, soldering irons, metal sheathed tubular elements, cartridge elements, etc. Equivalent alloys include N8 NIKROTHAL 80 CRONIX 80 EXTRA TOPHET A RESISTOHM 80 INALLOY 80 CHROMEL A 241 ~ NiCr 80 NICHROME V / 80 ISA-CHROM 80 STABLOHM 650 MWS-650 ALLOY A PROTOLOY
This has a Thin layer of Isopar oil to aid in dereeling.
