## Overview

Nichrome 80-250' 36 Gauge Wire is a high-quality, annealed nickel-chromium alloy wire designed for industrial and hobby heating applications. Measuring 0.13mm in diameter and 250 feet in length, it offers a stable resistance of 26 Ohms per foot and can operate continuously at temperatures up to 1180°C (2150°F). Made in the USA, this wire ensures consistent heat distribution, mechanical stability, and long-lasting performance for electronics repair, heating elements, and precision thermal projects.

## Description

**Wire Specifications:** - Diameter: 36 Gauge / 0.127mm - Shape: Round - Alloy: Nichrome 80 (80% Ni, 19.5% Cr, 1.45% Si) - Length: 250 ft. - Heat Treatment: Annealed (soft) - Melting Temperature: 2552°F / 1400°C - Maximum Continuous Operating Temperature: 2150°F / 1180°C - Resistance: 26 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this wire be soldred to with conventional solder?**
A: The problem isn’t soldering nichrome wire; it’s just that if you use nichrome for it’s intended purpose, it’ll just remedy the solder as soon as it heats up.

**Q: Can I fire this in a ceramic kiln to 1900F? Want to use it to embed into low fare ceramics**
A: It can easily take that temperature.

**Q: I want a malleable wire to twist with a drill to make salt water fishing flies.  Is it twistable and resistant to salt water corrosion?**
A: It is twistable. I did that to make a multi wire heating element using a drill. Not sure about the salt water.

**Q: hi, will a 9 volt battery make this stuff glow red hot?**
A: This is perfect for firework/model rocket ignition wire. If you need something for an application such as hot wire foam cutting, you should go with a thicker wire (lower AWG)
