## Overview

The Nichrome 80-250' 36 Gauge Wire is a high-performance wire designed for both industrial and hobby applications. With a length of 250 feet, it features a resistance of 26 Ohms per foot and can handle temperatures up to 1180°C (2150°F). Made in the USA, this annealed soft wire is perfect for hot-wire foam cutters, heaters, and various other uses.

## Description

**Wire Specifications:** - Diameter: 36 Gauge / 0.127mm - Shape: Round - Alloy: Nichrome 80 (80% Ni, 19.5% Cr, 1.45% Si) - Length: 250 ft. - Heat Treatment: Annealed (soft) - Melting Temperature: 2552°F / 1400°C - Maximum Continuous Operating Temperature: 2150°F / 1180°C - Resistance: 26 Ohms/ft at room temperature Nichrome 80 Wire has a low temperature coefficient of resistance and minimal change in resistance during its service life. These properties ensure faster heat-up times, more uniform operating temperatures, and a longer useful life. Its excellent mechanical stability minimizes variables in element design, ensures even stretch in coiled form, and eliminates problems such as shrinkage, growth, sag, or distortion in use. This wire is intended for the repair and maintenance of electronic components. Typical applications include 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, and electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces used in heat treatment, glass, steel, and electronics industries.

Review: Perfect for Cutting Rigid Foam - I used this wire to make a foam cutter for other DIY projects (mostly for insulating a keezer). It was well-suited for the job, able to turn electricity into heat to create a precise "blade" that's perfect for foam. With a little practice, the resulting cuts are as straight and smooth as the factory edges. This length will be plenty for most hobbyists like me -- I wasted a bit getting my setup right, but once I figured it out, I was able to use the same short piece to do the entire job -- So it's a good value.
Review: The right size for juul pod coils. - Used for rebuilding juul pods. Works pretty well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this wire be soldred to with conventional solder?**
A: The problem isn’t soldering nichrome wire; it’s just that if you use nichrome for it’s intended purpose, it’ll just remedy the solder as soon as it heats up.

**Q: Can I fire this in a ceramic kiln to 1900F? Want to use it to embed into low fare ceramics**
A: It can easily take that temperature.

**Q: I want a malleable wire to twist with a drill to make salt water fishing flies.  Is it twistable and resistant to salt water corrosion?**
A: It is twistable. I did that to make a multi wire heating element using a drill. Not sure about the salt water.

**Q: hi, will a 9 volt battery make this stuff glow red hot?**
A: This is perfect for firework/model rocket ignition wire. If you need something for an application such as hot wire foam cutting, you should go with a thicker wire (lower AWG)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value, I am pleased with it
*by J***7 on February 24, 2021*

It is very thin wire; 36 gauge wire is five-thousandths of an inch in diameter. The wire is bright and shiny and I feel no pits when I pull it through my fingers. I stretched about 6 inches between the alligator clips of a lab power supply set at 12 volts. It pulled about 900ma which means for that length of wire (eye-balled not measured) resistance is about 13 ohms. It glowed bright red. Note that wire increases in resistance as it is heated so this measurement will be higher than with an ohmmeter. I wrapped it around a pair of needle-nose pliers and pulled until it gave way. It required a few pounds of tension. Easily strong enough to use to cut Styrofoam, my opinion. I don't think copper will like the heat of a direct connection. For cutting Styrofoam, I think I would wrap it around a small length of steel wire and then push it through a steel butt connector and clamp it tight. Then attach the copper wire to the steel wire.
