We offer resistance wires like NiCr, FeCrAl and NiCu. Our round and flat resistance wires are customized in chemistry and mechanical properties according to customer’s requirement. Heating elements, due to its flexi- bility, durability and tensile strength are commonly used in consumer goods or in a large variety of industrial applications. NiCr Nickel Chromium is corrosion-resistant and has a high melting point of about 1,400°C. When exposed to elevated temperatures, it develops an outer layer of chromium oxide, which is thermodynamically stable in air, mostly impervious to oxygen and protecting the heating element from further oxidation. NiCr resistance wires are used in various industrial applications such as motorcycle mufflers, microbiological lab apparatus, extrusion machines or electronic cigarettes. CuNi Copper Nickel alloys are medium to low resistance materials typically used in applications with maximum operating temperatures up to 400°C. They mechanically feature good ductility, are easily soldered and welded and show an outstanding corrosion resistance. Typically CuNi alloys are used in high current applications such as heating elements in electrofusion pipe fittings, wire-wound precision resistors, potentiometers, winding heavy-duty industrial rheostats or electric motor resistances. FeCrAl Iron Chromium Aluminum shows high thermal conductivity but it is an electrical insulator, so special techniques may be required to manufacture good electrical connections. This alloy has a melting point of 1,425°C. Typical applications include, high temperature load resistors, braking and starting resistors, and domestic appliances such as hot plates, irons, and electric furnaces. It is also used in resistors, lab furnaces, and heavy relay switches.
