Resistance Wire Nichrome

Nichrome wire, is a composite of 80% nickel and 20% chrome, 

creating a tough hard to bend wire, with a high temperature tolerance, it is used for a range of 

applications, including foam cutting, interior ribbing for clay models, heating elements in 

RepRap 3D Printers and much more. The wire requires a phosphoric acid flux in order to be 

soldered, due to solders tendency to melt when heated. It can be welded with ease to the 

required components, as another option of joining.
