I-Nichrome, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-nickel chrome, iyingxubevange ekhiqizwa ngokuxuba i-nickel, i-chromium futhi, ngezikhathi ezithile, nensimbi. Eyaziwa kakhulu ngokumelana nokushisa kwayo, kanye nokumelana kwayo nakho kokubili ukugqwala kanye ne-oxidation, ingxubevange iwusizo ngendlela emangalisayo ezinhlelweni eziningi. Kusukela ekukhiqizeni izimboni kuya emsebenzini wokuzilibazisa, i-nichrome esesimweni socingo ikhona ezinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo yokuhweba, imisebenzi yezandla namathuluzi. Iphinde ithole izinhlelo zokusebenza kuzilungiselelo ezikhethekile.

I-Nichrome wire iyingxubevange eyenziwe nge-nickel ne-chromium. Imelana nokushisa kanye ne-oxidation futhi isebenza njengento yokushisa emikhiqizweni efana nama-toaster kanye nezomisa izinwele. Ama-Hobbyists asebenzisa i-nichrome wire emfanekisweni we-ceramic kanye nokwenza ingilazi. Ucingo lungabuye lutholakale kumalabhorethri, ukwakhiwa kanye nama-electronics akhethekile.

Ngenxa yokuthi intambo ye-nichrome imelana nogesi, iwusizo ngendlela emangalisayo njengento yokushisisa emikhiqizweni yokuhweba namathuluzi asekhaya. Amathosta nezinto ezomisa izinwele zisebenzisa amakhoyili ocingo lwe-nichrome ukuze zenze ukushisa okukhulu, njengoba kwenza amahhavini ashisayo namahitha okugcina. Izithando zezimboni nazo zisebenzisa i-nichrome wire ukuze zisebenze. Ubude bentambo ye-nichrome bungasetshenziswa futhi ukwakha i-hot wire cutter, engasetshenziswa ekhaya noma endaweni yezimboni ukusika nokubumba amagwebu athile namapulasitiki.

Intambo ye-Nichrome yenziwe nge-alloy engeyona-magnetic eyakhiwe ngokuyinhloko nge-nickel, i-chromium, nensimbi. I-Nichrome ibonakala ngokumelana kwayo okuphezulu nokumelana okuhle kwe-oxidation. I-Nichrome wire nayo ine-ductility enhle ngemva kokusetshenziswa kanye nokushisela okuhle kakhulu.

Inombolo eza ngemva kohlobo lwentambo ye-Nichrome ibonisa iphesenti le-nickel ku-alloy. Isibonelo, "i-Nichrome 60" ine-nickel cishe engu-60% ekuqanjweni kwayo.

Izicelo zocingo lwe-Nichrome zifaka phakathi izinto zokushisisa zezomisa izinwele, izitywini zokushisa, kanye nokwesekwa kwe-ceramic kumaklini.
