Nickel Chrome Alloy Wire(Alloy 675)
Coiled Nichrome Wire (Open Coil Resistance Wire Elements - Infrared and Air Process/Duct Heaters)
5, 10 or 30 pound spools of Nichrome or Kantha l
Nichrome wire is commonly used as a resistance heater for cutting foam (Styrofoam, polyurethane, etc. ) fabrics, and a variety of other materials.
Nichrome-60 wire (NiCr60 Type Alloy 675 Nickel Chrome Alloy)
Nickel: 57-58%, Chromium: 16%, Silicon: 1.5%, Iron: Balance
We produce 50, 16-22, 24, 25, 28, 29 and 31 gauge Nichrome-60 wire sold by the foot (packaged in a plastic bag) - A commonly used wire is 21 gauge. It might require some experimentation to determine the best gauge to use for your material, and what the correct tension and temperature is.
