2. Nichrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichrome

   Nichrome. Nichrome (also known as NiCr, nickel-chromium or chromium-nickel) is a family of alloys of nickel and chromium (and occasionally iron [1]) commonly used as resistance wire, heating elements in devices like toasters, electrical kettles and space heaters, in some dental restorations (fillings) and in a few other applications.

3. Electric heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

   Most modern electric heating devices use nichrome wire as the active element; the heating element, depicted on the right, uses nichrome wire supported by ceramic insulators. Alternatively, a heat pump can achieve around 150% – 600% efficiency for heating, or COP 1.5 - 6.0 Coefficient of performance , because it uses electric power only for ...

4. Heating element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

   Heating element. A heating element is a device used for conversion of electric energy into heat, consisting of a heating resistor and accessories. [1] Heat is generated by the passage of electric current through a resistor through a process known as Joule Heating. Heating elements are used in household appliances, industrial equipment, and ...

5. Chromel - Wikipedia

   It is also commonly called Nichrome 80-20, and is used for electric heating elements. ... It is also commonly called Nichrome 60 and is used for heating elements, ...

6. Resistance wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_wire

   Nichrome, a non-magnetic 80/20 alloy of nickel and chromium, is the most common resistance wire for heating purposes because it has a high resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, up to 1,400 °C (2,550 °F). When used as a heating element, resistance wire is usually wound into coils.

7. Albert L. Marsh - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_L._Marsh

   Albert Marsh (August 16, 1877 – September 17, 1944) was an American metallurgist. In 1905 he co-invented the first metallic alloy from which a high- resistance wire could be made that could be used as a durable and safe heating element. While working at Hoskins Manufacturing, the company of chemist, electrical engineer, inventor and ...
