Comparison Table of Cr20Ni80, Cr15Ni60, and Cr20Ni35 Nichrome Wire Mesh

Comparison Dimension Cr20Ni80 Cr15Ni60 Cr20Ni35
1. Composition – Cr (Chromium): 20%
– Ni (Nickel): 80%
– Cr (Chromium): 15%
– Ni (Nickel): 60%
– Cr (Chromium): 20%
– Ni (Nickel): 35%
2. Maximum Operating Temperature ≤1200°C in air, ≤1250°C in inert gas ≤1000~1100°C in air ≤1100~1200°C in air (slightly lower long-term stability)
3. Electrical Resistivity (20°C) ~1.09 μΩ·m (high resistivity, high heating efficiency) ~1.0 μΩ·m (medium resistivity) ~1.1 μΩ·m (slightly higher than Cr15Ni60)
4. High-Temperature Oxidation Resistance Excellent; dense and stable Cr₂O₃ oxide film, resistant to long-term oxidation Moderate; lower Cr content weakens oxide film protection Good, but lower Ni content leads to slightly poorer oxide film stability
5. Mechanical Properties – Annealed tensile strength ≥650 MPa
– Elongation ≥20% (excellent plasticity)
– Annealed tensile strength ≥600 MPa
– Elongation slightly lower than Cr20Ni80
Room-temperature strength similar to Cr20Ni80, but high-temperature strength decays faster
6. Corrosion Resistance Resistant to oxidizing gases and non-strong acid environments Suitable for moderate-temperature environments without severe corrosion Corrosion resistance between Cr20Ni80 and Cr15Ni60
7. Typical Applications – High-temperature electric furnaces, glass melting furnaces, semiconductor equipment
– Aerospace heating elements
– Industrial ovens, household heaters, medium-temperature drying equipment – Heat treatment furnaces, chemical equipment (non-acidic gases)
– Short-term high-temperature auxiliary heating elements
8. Advantages Optimal high-temperature and oxidation resistance with strong long-term stability Lower cost, suitable for medium-temperature and low-load scenarios Higher Cr content balances cost and corrosion resistance
9. Limitations High cost due to high Ni content Lower high-temperature str

Summary of the Table

  • Cr20Ni80: Offers the strongest comprehensive performance, suitable for extreme high-temperature and highly oxidizing environments, but comes with the highest cost.
  • Cr15Ni60: Provides high cost-effectiveness for medium-temperature scenarios, though its high-temperature performance is limited.
  • Cr20Ni35: Balances Cr content and cost, suitable for scenarios with moderate corrosion and temperature requirements.
For specific product parameters, it is recommended to refer to the technical specifications provided by manufacturers,
