Typical Applications
Nickel-Chromium alloys are particularly useful for high temperature applications in oxidizing atmospheres.

Its high chromium percentage (30%) gives Resistohm 70 indeed a very good life time in the furnace application. Elements in Resistohm 70 have also a satisfactory life time when operating atmosphere is alternatively oxidizing and reducting.

It is not recommended to exceed a temperature of 1250°C on the surface of the wire or the strip of elements in Resistohm 70. Because of its high resistivity, it is sometimes better to use Resistohm 70 rather than another nickel-chromium alloy. Moreover 30% of chromium make that it is less subject to the "green rot" as the other NiCr alloys.
