## Overview

DEKEAN Nichrome 80 24 Gauge Resistance Wire offers 100 feet of annealed, soft, and highly durable wire engineered for high-temperature applications up to 1180°C.

## Description

**Wire Specifications:** - Diameter: 24 Gauge / 0.51mm - Shape: Round - Alloy: Nichrome 80 (80% Ni, 19.5% Cr, 1.45% Si) - Length: 100 ft. - Heat Treatment: Annealed (soft) - Melting Temperature: 2552°F / 1400°C - Maximum Continuous Operating Temperature: 2150°F / 1180°C - Resistance: 1.61 Ohms/ft at room temperature Nichrome 80 Wire has a low temperature coefficient of resistance and minimal change in resistance during its service life. These properties ensure faster heat-up times, more uniform operating temperatures, and a longer useful life. Its excellent mechanical stability minimizes variables in element design, ensures even stretch in coiled form, and eliminates problems such as shrinkage, growth, sag, or distortion in use. This wire is intended for the repair and maintenance of electronic components. Typical applications include industrial and hobby hot-wire foam cutters, internal support in ceramics, home and industrial heaters, diffusion heaters, dishwashers, cooking plates, electric blankets, hair dryers, kerosene-fired appliances, kettles, refrigerators, rice cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines, and electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces used in heat treatment, glass, steel, and electronics industries.

Review: This is the one - I used for styrofoam cutting and was perfect
Review: This is pretty good wire to use for various heating projects. I used it to build dew prevention heaters for my telescopes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used for glass fusion?**
A: I do not know.  I do not think it could get hot enough without burning out.

**Q: Does it have an insulation on it?**
A: This is just wires, no insulation comes with it..

**Q: how do I find out the gage of wire that is in my coil element? what tool do I use to measure**
A: You need to use a set of calipers.

**Q: Can this be used in the interior of ceramics for reinforcement fired at cone 05?**
A: Cone 05 reaches temperatures of 1888°F at a ramp rate of 108°F/hr.  This wire is rated at 2150°F so Cone 05 thermal process will not weaken or yield the integrity of this wire at full set as it is below the yield strength temperature limitations of the material   I believe you would be fine to use this wire at Cone 05 firing temperatures.
