Talk:Nichrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The figures in the table of properties were pretty hard to come by, and seem to show a wide range because of the dependence on physical composition. These figures were converted from selected websites. Perhaps a reference to a proper materials reference manual would be useful at some stage.
[edit] Soldering NiCr wire
Is there a technique/process for soldering NiCr wire to another object (e.g. gold plated pad on a circuit board)? The very nature of NiCr seems to preclude solder wetting.
- Nichrome is almost always connected by some sort of mechanically-tight connection such as crimping, riveting, etc or by welding.
[edit] Nichrome heating
Is there any data about the use of nichrome heating, for instance: a nichrome element in the cables of electric kettles, geysers and spiral stove plates?
