    Hello, I am looking for nichrome wire but don't know where it can be found.
    I was wondering if the spring from the pen is nichrome wire.
    Please help.

    In Polish it is called chromonikelin - Ni 80%, Cr 20% - iron-free or Ni 65%, Cr 15%, Fe 20% (ferric chromium nickel). Ask in companies selling resistance wire whether the resistance alloy is not enough for you. You can get a small amount from a damaged heater, "farelka" etc., but you will not be sure about the alloy used (if it is important).

    No - it's steel.

    As part of the first aid I suggest a spelling dictionary - correct the subject because it bites in the eye.

    I do not make mistakes in writing.
    And the resistance wire where can I get?

    Hello. Chromonickelin - a resistance alloy of nickel (80%) and chromium (20%) or simply chromium-nickel is found in medium and high power wire resistors, in all heating coils of heaters, etc. It is simply a resistance wire commercially available by the meter. There are round and flat wires with different resistance depending on the cross-section for a given section measured in centimeters or meters. There are two types of alloys - ferrous non-ferrous glycine, nichrome: Ni 80%, Cr 20% and ferric chromium glycine: Ni 65%, Cr 15%, Fe 20%.

    But you knocked down ;)
    As for the source of resistance wire - you read with understanding my post

    With farelce it's not a good idea because overheated resistance wires like to break, it is suggested with a hair dryer that is thicker and easier to straighten by stretching the spiral.

    Recently, resistance wires sold in retail quantities have appeared in the offer of many companies, all thanks to e-smokers who regularly burn their heaters and experiment with various wires.

    Yes and then they overload the battery and boom in the face. Oh, there were such cases.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around locating nichrome wire and clarifying whether pen springs are made of nichrome material. Participants explain that nichrome, known as chromonikelin, is an alloy consisting of 80% nickel and 20% chromium, commonly used in resistance wires and heating elements. It is suggested to source nichrome wire from companies that sell resistance wire or to salvage it from damaged heating devices. The conversation also touches on the availability of resistance wires in retail, particularly due to the needs of e-smokers. The author specifies wire diameters of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mm, indicating a need for precise specifications.
