High Temperature 9 Gauge Wire For a Variety Of Craft Applications (Pkg/5 Ft)

Often used as a high temperature resistance wire in various domestic heating applications such as toasters, dryers, hot plates, etc., this Nikrothal 60 wire is also useful for crafts and hobbies. It is a heavy gauge wire that has been precut into 1 foot lengths. It measures 9 gauge which is .1144 inches thick and is an alloy of nickel and chromium that can withstand temperatures up to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit with a melting point of 2,534 degrees Fahrenheit. Sometimes used in ceramic and pottery kilns during the firing process it is also a superb wire for glass artisans to insert into their fusible glass creations for hanging hooks or for metallic project details. High temperature applications are not the only use for this versatile wire, however. It can be bent (with some effort), holds its shape easily and will resist breaking even with repeated bending. It can also be welded and has good oxidation resistance so it will not rust easily. It has almost no magnetic properties and is remarkably resistant to wear.
