The primary application of Nichrome 80 wire is in heating. It is often used in heaters, ovens, hair dryers, resistors, rheostats, current-temperature controls, and many other devices that require heating with electricity. Nichrome 80 wire increases in resistance as the temperature rises, but changes less than Nichrome 60 wire, making it more suitable for resistors in electronics. Additionally, since Nichrome 80 wire has no iron, some people prefer it for vaping. In conclusion, Nichrome 80 wire is a versatile and reliable material that is well suited for a range of heating applications. With its high temperature capabilities and unique resistance properties, it is a popular choice for use in electronics and other devices that require heating. This article highlights the features and applications of the Nichrome 80 resistance wire. This wire is also known as Nichrome V or Chromel A and comprises 80% nickel and 20% chromium. It is available in a 24 gauge size, with a diameter of .0201" and a length of 250 feet. The wire is packaged on a plastic spool and is made in certified factories in the USA or Western Europe. The wire has a specific resistance of 650 ohms/cmf and a nominal temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 8.5e-05 ohm/ohm/oC (0-100oC). Its maximum continuous operating temperature is 1200oC (2190oF), with an approximate melting temperature of 1400oC (2550oF). The wire has a density of 0.304 lb/cu. in. (8415 kg/m3), 875 feet/lb, and a thermal coefficient of linear expansion of 14.5 X 10-6 per oC. It is Annealed, has a Tensile Strength of 100 KPSI, and has no magnetic attraction. In addition to the 24 gauge wire, Jacobs Online store offers a range of other gauges and lengths of Nichrome 80 wire, as well as Nichrome 60 wire, Nichrome 60 ribbon wire, Kanthal A-1 wire, Rene 41 Super Alloy Wire, transformers, fuses, fuse holders, dimmers, power cords, and switches.
