NEW-OLD STOCK / Nichrome wire,  17awg 1lb spool (aprox 173ft)

Nickel Chromium Resistance Wire

 is an alloy of nickel and chromium, is commonly used for its high resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures. Here are some of its primary applications:
Heating Elements:
Used in electric heaters, toasters, and hair dryers due to its high melting point and ability to produce consistent heat.
Industrial Furnaces:
Employed in kilns and furnaces for its ability to operate at high temperatures without degrading.
Resistance Wire:
Used in resistors for electrical circuits and in devices requiring precise resistance values.
Cutting Tools:
Utilized in hot-wire foam cutters and in the glass and ceramic industries for cutting materials that require a heated edge.
Laboratory Equipment:
Found in laboratory heating devices such as Bunsen burners and incubators.
Electronic Cigarettes:
Used as a heating coil due to its durability and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures.
Hobby and Craft Applications:
Employed in model making and sculpting for shaping materials that melt or can be easily cut with heat.
Igniters:
Used in fireworks, model rockets, and other devices that require a reliable ignition source.
