Nichrome Mesh

Nichrome mesh is made of nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) alloy. it widely used for heat treating, industrial furnaces, and other high-temperature applications due to its excellent oxidation resistance, and thermal stability. 

 Key Features of Nichrome Mesh: 

✔ High melting point (~2550°F / 1400°C) 

✔ Excellent oxidation resistance (forms a protective Cr₂O₃ layer) 

✔ Resists thermal fatigue & deformation 

✔ Cost-effective compared to superalloys like Inconel 

 Common Nichrome Alloys: 

Alloy Composition Max Temp Best For
Nichrome 60 60% Ni, 16% Cr, 24% Fe 2100°F (1150°C) General-purpose heating elements
Nichrome 80/20 80% Ni, 20% Cr 2200°F (1200°C) High-performance heating
Nichrome 70/30 70% Ni, 30% Cr 2300°F (1260°C) Extreme heat applications

Applications of Nichrome Mesh: 

– Heat treatment baskets or trays 

– Aerospace & Defense 

  – Heat shields, rocket nozzle liners 

– Laboratory Equipment 

  – High-temp filters, combustion screens 

– Automotive 

  – Glow plugs, exhaust gas sensors 

– Food Industry 

  – Baking conveyor belts, infrared heaters
