## Overview

Master Wire Supply’s Nichrome 80 28-gauge wire delivers 100 feet of annealed, high-resistance alloy engineered for industrial and hobby heating applications.

## Description

**Wire Specifications:** - Diameter: 28 Gauge / 0.32mm - 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: 4.09 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: Good quality wire. - This stuff is great. I thought I had a crappy foam cutter, but it was just a wire I was using once I put this stuff on it cuts like a laser.
Review: Cuts through foam like a blowtorch through butter - I bought this wire for a hot wire foam cutter I built from scratch. Using an online nichrome wire calculator, this gauge wire should work perfectly. I am using a 12 volt 6 amp power supply, 5.5mm jacks, and a pulse width modulator all purchased on desertcart. The foam cutter works exactly as expected. Plenty of wire for several projects and/or to restring my foam cutter if and when it becomes necessary. One word of caution--the spool will try to unwind itself when you untwist it!
