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
