Nickel alloys
Heat-resistant alloys of chromium and nickel — nichrome are indispensable in modern technology. The most popular compositions with 80% Ni, which until recently were the most heat-resistant materials. To reduce their cost, the high percentage of Ni was reduced by increasing the proportion of iron. The most successful was the composition of 15% Cr, 60% Ni, and 25% Fe. The resistance of nichromes is higher than that of ferronichromes, so the latter are usually used at a lower temperature. Ferronichromes and nichromes have a rare combination of high electrical resistance (1.05−1.40 Ohmxmm 2 /m) and high heat resistance. Therefore, they, together with chromals, represent the two most important classes of alloys used in the form of tape or wire for the manufacture of high-temperature electric heaters. For these, nichrome alloyed up to 1.5% with silicon, rare earth, alkaline earth metals is usually used. The limiting operating temperature of nichromes of this type approaches 1200 ° C, and for a number of brands — to 1250 ° C.
