CX1201 High-Performance Alloy Wire Strand For Demanding Applications In Extreme Environments

19-Strand Nickel-Chrome Wire refers to a type of wire composed of Nickel (Ni) and Chromium (Cr), typically used for heating elements and other high-temperature applications. The "19-strand" part indicates the wire is made up of 19 individual strands twisted together to form a single wire. This design enhances flexibility, strength, and durability compared to single-strand wires.

19-strand Nickel-Chrome wire is an ideal material for applications requiring heat resistance, high efficiency, and mechanical strength, particularly in heating elements, resistors, and sensors. The 19-strand design improves flexibility and durability, making it a versatile choice for various high-performance applications.
