**We can also supply core heating wire welded with cold tail wire and 60 A male camlock for 60V and 80V pad heaters.
Nichrome Wire:
Nichrome wire, is a composite of 80% nickel and 20% chrome, creating a tough hard to bend wire, with a high temperature tolerance, this alloy has won universal acceptance among users of metallic resistance materials & it is used for a range of applications, including foam cutting, interior ribbing for clay models, heating elements and much more.
It is an excellent choice for heating elements operating at temperatures up to 1100°C, it can be welded with ease to the required components, as another option of joining.
Specification:
Gauge: 8SWG, 10SWG, 12SWG, 14SWG and 16SWG
