Description: Nichrome 60 Wire Bare Nickel Chromium Resistance Wire 500 feet 38 AWG (gauge) .004" dia. 42.2 ohms/ft Packaging: wound on a plastic spool 60% nickel, 16% chromium, 24% iron All wire is made in the USA or Western Europe in prominent certified factories More products in Jacobs Online store arranged by category and subcategory to help you find what you are looking for: Nichrome 80 wire Nichrome 60 wire Nichrome 60 ribbon (flat) wire Kanthal A-1 wire Rene 41 Super Alloy Wire Transformers Fuses, fuse holders, dimmers, power cords, switches Typical Applications: Nichrome 60 is also known as just Nichrome (Nichrome 80 is Nichrome V) Chromel C, and other names. Nichrome 80 and nichrome 60 are pretty much interchangeable for heating applications. Nichrome wire increases in resistance a little as the temperature increases and nichrome 80 changes less than nichrome 60 so is more applicable for resistors in electronics. The 80 also has a slightly higher melting temperature and maximum operating temperature. Since nichrome 80 has no iron, some prefer it for vaping while others can taste no difference. Nichrome 80 is a little more expensive than nichrome 60 so for normal heating purposes such as foam cutting, plastic bending, film cutting or sealing, etc. the 60 is usually used. For wrapping around tubes or similar heating applications, the ribbon wire may be better since it lays flat and has more surface area to transfer heat with. There are unlimited other uses; anytime heating with electricity, nichrome is the most common wire used. Here are a few more: heaters of all kinds, ovens, hair dryers, resistors, rheostats, current-temperature controls, model and high power rocket motor and recovery ejection charge ignition, pyrotechnic ignition, laboratory inoculating loops, release mechanisms, kiln heating coils, ceramic support in kilns, and many others. Packaging: Small quantities of small diameter wire is either coiled and sealed in a plastic bag or wound on a plastic card and sealed in a bag. The largest gauges are also just coiled and secured with wire ties or cable ties and sealed in a plastic bag. The rest are wound on plastic spools using either our manual traverse wire winder or our computer controlled (NC) winding machine.
