Nichrome Wire
Explosives, fireworks, ceramics and many industries that use heating applications use nichrome wire. It also finds a major application in microbiological lab apparatus and motorcycle silencers. In case of power supplies and instrumentation, insulated nichrome wires are used.
Nichrome wire comes in various gauges of which 40 wire gauge and 14 wire gauge are quite popular. The 40 gauge nichrome wire is very thin and is used in igniters that are used to ignite a model rocket motor or an ejection charge. Heater elements use 26 – 32 gauge wire. For foam cutting, one may require a wire of 22 – 28 gauge. Kilns used for firing ceramics, use 14-18 gauge wire, pertaining to the high heat resistance factor of this alloy. However, the heat generated depends on the length of the wire and voltage supply.
