Its annealed soft finish ensures flexibility and mechanical stability, making it ideal for high-temp heating elements, electronic repairs, and precision DIY applications. ## Description Wire Specifications: - Diameter: 26 Gauge / 0.40mm - Shape: Round - Alloy: Nichrome 80 (80% Ni, 19.5% Cr, 1.45% Si) - Length 100 ft. - Heat Treatment Annealed (soft) - Melting Temperature 2552F / 1400C - Max Continuous Operating Temp: 2150F / 1180C - Resistance: 2.57 Ohms/ft at room temperature Nichrome 80 Wire has a low temperature coefficient of resistance and a low change in resistance during its service life that combine to assure faster heat-up times, more uniform operating temperatures, and a longer useful life. Its excellent mechanical stability minimizes variables in element design, assures even stretch in coiled form, and eliminates problems of shrinkage, growth, sag, or distortion in use. This wire is for repair and maintenance of electronic components. Typical applications for Master Wire Supply Nichrome 80 wire are: 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, electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces for heat treatment, glass, steel, and electronics industries. Review: I use this in a bow-style hot wire cutter for cutting foam. So far it makes nice cuts. Review: Exactly what I expected. Good quality. Works great. ## Features - Nichrome 80 26g 100 ft - Annealed soft - For use as a resistor in electronics projects - 2.57 Ohms/ft Resistance - For use at temperatures up to 1180°C (2150°F) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CHVKKCQ | | ASIN | B07CHVKKCQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,121 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #188 in Electrical Wire | | Brand Name | Master Wire Supply | | Color | metallic silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (503) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (503) | | Date First Available | 28 May 2018 | | Gauge | 6.0 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 43237-2 | | Manufacturer | Master Wire Supply | | Manufacturer | Master Wire Supply | | Material Type | Nichrome | | Model | 43237-2 | | Number Of Wires | 1 | | Part Number | 43237-2 | | Product Dimensions | 6.99 x 6.99 x 1.91 cm; 45 g | | Strands | 1 x | | UPC | 742415912539 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Wire Diameter | 0.4 Millimeters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Master Wire Supply - **Colour:** metallic silver - **Gauge:** 6.0 - **Material:** Nichrome - **Number of cable strands:** 1 x ## Images ![Nichrome 80-100' - 26 Gauge Resistance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dTHqRlkJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this work for a cutting grid in a stand alone ice machine** A: I never thought of that as a use but it would work fine. I use it to cut EPS foam where the temperature on the wire range around 600 degrees. As you know the temp is determined by a combination of amperage, gauge and length of the wire between the power leads. So long as you have sufficient power this should work great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***N on 15 January 2023* I use this in a bow-style hot wire cutter for cutting foam.
