Nikrothal 60 resistance wire is a nickel-chromium alloy engineered for applications that demand long-lasting performance under high temperatures. Classified under AFNOR NC 6, it combines durability, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance, making it a preferred choice in industries where consistent heating and electrical resistance are critical.
Nikrothal 60 is composed of approximately 60% nickel and 15% chromium, with iron making up the balance. This composition results in a resistivity of about 1.09 µΩ·m, which provides excellent resistance stability. The chromium content enhances oxidation resistance, allowing the alloy to maintain its structural integrity even at elevated temperatures.
The wire’s maximum continuous operating temperature is around 1200°C, making it suitable for demanding heating applications. Beyond just high-temperature strength, Nikrothal 60 also exhibits good mechanical stability, meaning it can withstand thermal cycling and repeated heating without cracking or losing performance.

Physical, Electrical & Mechanical Properties
Key Performance Advantages
High Resistance to Oxidation: Forms a dense, adherent chromium oxide () protective layer that prevents interior alloy degradation during thermal cycling.
Superior Ductility After Use: Unlike iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys, Nikrothal 60 maintains ductile grain structure after prolonged high-temperature exposure and will not become brittle when cooled.
Good Weldability and Formability: Easily coiling, bending, and spot-welding without preheating, enabling efficient manufacturing of complex heating spirals.
Cost-Effective Thermal Performance: Provides an optimal economic balance compared to higher-nickel Ni80Cr20 while offering higher corrosion resistance than FeCrAl in moist or reducing atmospheres.
