2. Nichrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichrome

   Nichrome (also known as NiCr, nickel-chromium or chromium-nickel) is a family of alloys of nickel and chromium (and occasionally iron [1]) commonly used as resistance wire, heating elements in devices like toasters, electrical kettles and space heaters, in some dental restorations (fillings) and in a few other applications.

3. Resistance wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_wire

   Nichrome, a non-magnetic 80/20 alloy of nickel and chromium, is the most common resistance wire for heating purposes because it has a high resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, up to 1,400 °C (2,550 °F). When used as a heating element, resistance wire is usually wound into coils.

4. Chromel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromel

   Chromel A is an alloy containing approximately 80% nickel and 20% chromium (by weight), with low-level quantities of Si (1%), Fe (0.5%), and Ni. [2] It is used for its excellent resistance to high-temperature corrosion and oxidation. It is also commonly called Nichrome 80-20, and is used for electric heating elements.

6. Cartridge heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartridge_heater

   The heating coil is the actual resistance which is where the electrical load occurs. The most common type of metal alloy used for this purpose is a nickel-chromium mixture, also known as nichrome. [6] The nichrome wire is wound around a ceramic core, and the number of spirals per inch vary according to the requested watt density.

7. List of resistors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_resistors

   When iron is added, the chromium nickel alloy becomes more ductile. The Nichrome and Chromel C are examples of an alloy containing iron. The composition typical of Nichrome is 60 Ni, 12 Cr, 26 Fe, 2 Mn and Chromel C, 64 Ni, 11 Cr, Fe 25. The melting temperature of these alloys are 1350 °C and 1390 °C, respectively.
