Chromel

Chromel is a chromium - nickel - alloy , mainly for the production of thermocouples American standards, especially ANSI-type K (chromel -alumel ), and E (chromel constantan is) used. Chromel alloys consist of approx. 90% nickel and 10% chromium. Chromel is a registered trademark of Concept Alloys Inc (formerly Hoskins Manufacturing Company).

Chromel can be used up to 1,100 ° C in oxidative environments and its melting point is 1420 ° C. Its specific resistance is 0.706 µΩ · m.

Modifications

Chromel A is an alloy of 80 percent by weight nickel and 20% chromium, with very good temperature resistance. Chromel A is also sold under the name Nichrome 80-20 and used as a heating conductor .
Chromel C, or Nichrome 60 , is an alloy of 60% nickel, 16% chromium and 24% iron. Chromel C is also used as a heating conductor, as well as for wire resistors and thermal saws .
