Nichrome 80 resistance wire, 11 AWG (gauge), 10 feet

Description: Nichrome 80 Wire Bare Nickel Chromium Resistance Wire 10 feet 11 AWG (gauge) .091" dia. .08 ohms/ft Packaged as an open coil Approximate compostion: 80% nickel, 20% chromium Manufacturer: Varies -- World recognized mills See all my other Nichrome wire sizes and lengths at my eBay store: Jacobs Online 40 to 11 gauge, 5ft, 10ft, 30ft, 100ft, 1/8 lb, 1/4 lb, 1 lb quantity/lengths available depend upon gauge Kilns & Foam Cutting: This is Nichrome 80 (Nichrome A) wire which has a slightly higher melting point than Nichrome 60. One common use is in kilns for supporting ceramics or stringing ceramic beads. It is also used for foam cutting when a longer length must hold a bent shape to cut contours or shapes in foam. Cutting: This size wire is difficult to cut with standard diagonal cutters. However, it is easily cut using something like the Crescent Pro-Series 9 in. Diagonal Cutting Pliers, $15 at Home Depot (as advertised 2-11-2012 online). Shipping: If you require faster or alternate shipping, contact me and I will give you the shipping costs for other methods. USPS is almost always cheapest which is why I use them as the default shipping method. FedEx and UPS will ship the next day, not day of order. USPS Priority can ship same day if order is received before 3:30 p.m. Pacific time. International rates for 1/8 lb, 1/4 lb, and 1 lb spool orders are limited to the number of items that will fit in one flat rate box. Packaging: This wire is too thick for winding on spools so are wound in open coils (not around anything) and sealed in a plastic bag. About Jacobs Online: Jacobs Online is new to eBay but not new to selling Nichrome wire. I have been selling on line for more than three years and have sold thousands of individual Nichrome wire items as the number one on line source. I buy in large quantities directly from the mill that makes the wire and carry every size they manufacture plus additional sizes from other major distributors. Questions? Feel free to contact me. Common Usages: Nichrome has two specific characteristics that make it the choice for specific applications. It's high resistance compared to other metals and its high melting point. Uses include heat sealers, poly cutters, foam cutting, 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, electronic cigarettes, laboratory inoculating loops, release mechanisms, kiln heating coils, ceramic support in kilns, and many others. When used for heating, it is often coiled both to save room and to increase the temperature with the same current. More Specifications Maximum recommended temperature: 900C Withstands temperatures up to: 1150C Melting Temperature: 1400C Density: 8410 kg/m3 Thermal Expansion: 14 X 10-6 per oC Other Names: Nichrome is actually a trade name but just as Kleenex has become a common name for tissues, Nichrome has become a common name for any alloy with the same composition. Nichrome is more specifically the 60% nickel alloy while Nichrome V is the 80% nickel alloy. There are many other trade names for the same material but eBay policy prevents the listing of them. AWG? What does AWG stand for? American Wire Gauge. It is the standard set of sizes for non ferrous (iron) wire. Wire sizes are normally specified by the term AWG rather than gauge but they mean the same thing. Because there are various gauge standards around the world, it is becoming more common to list wire sizes by their actual diameter rather than by AWG or gauge. Diameters are specified in inches in the USA and mm in most other countries.
