This nickel-chromium, often called Chromel C, provides effortless formability. Use it for heating elements, resistance windings, and hot-wire cutters.

Able to withstand temperatures up to 1000° F, 600 nickel is often used as safety lock wire in high-temperature applications. It is comparable to Inconel.

This wire will spring back after bending. It's often used in heating and electrical applications.

Harder than platinum and able to withstand higher temperatures than gold, this 99.98% pure tantalum wire also resists corrosion and conducts heat. It’s often used in heating elements for furnaces.

Turn the dial to control the percentage of time that these heaters cycle on, from 5% to 100%. Commonly used to thaw pipes, prevent valves from freezing, and heat beakers and flasks in labs, they're good for temporary and occasional use where rapid heating is required but precise temperature control is not.

These heaters require a separate temperature switch or controller to regulate heat output.

Wrap the flexible fiber heating element around small-diameter pipes and tubes or pack it into tight spaces.

These heaters require a power-connection kit.

Make your own thermocouples.

Extend the reach of your thermocouple probe—plug-in connectors on both ends of this wire speed up installation.

Use this wire in ovens, furnaces, and other electrical heating equipment where temperatures reach 480° F and higher.
