(7) A wide range of Nickel and Nickel based alloys are available from JLC for core wires of welding electrodes. Other grades of NiFe electrode core wires with Ni 36%, 40% , 45%, 50% and 70% are also available. Bimetal NiFe wires also available.
A Nickel-Copper alloy wire used mainly for its medium range electrical resistivity and very low temperature-coefficient of resistance. Applications include power resistors, shunts, thermocouples and wire-wound precision resistors having operating temperatures up to 400°C.
An alloy wire used at operating temperatures up to 1200°C. Its chemical composition gives good oxidation resistance especially under conditions of frequent switching or wide temperature fluctuations. Applications include heating elements in both domestic and industrial appliances and in control resistors.
