I-Nichrome, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-nickel chrome, iyi-alloy ekhiqizwa ngokuxuba i-nickel, i-chromium kanye, ngezinye izikhathi, ne-iron. Eyaziwa kakhulu ngokumelana kwayo nokushisa, kanye nokumelana kwayo nokugqwala kanye ne-oxidation, i-alloy iwusizo kakhulu ezinhlotsheni eziningi zokusebenza. Kusukela ekukhiqizeni kwezimboni kuya emsebenzini wokuzilibazisa, i-nichrome ngesimo se-wire ikhona emikhiqizweni eminingi yezentengiselwano, imisebenzi yobuciko kanye namathuluzi. Iphinde ithole ukusetshenziswa ezindaweni ezikhethekile.

Intambo ye-Nichrome iyinhlanganisela eyenziwe nge-nickel ne-chromium. Imelana nokushisa kanye ne-oxidation futhi isebenza njengento yokushisa emikhiqizweni efana nama-toaster kanye ne-hair dryer. Abathandi bokuzilibazisa basebenzisa intambo ye-nichrome ekubunjweni kwe-ceramic kanye nokwenza ingilazi. Intambo ingatholakala nasezilabhorethri, ekwakheni kanye nasezintweni zikagesi ezikhethekile.

Ngenxa yokuthi ucingo lwe-nichrome lumelana kakhulu nogesi, luwusizo kakhulu njengento yokushisa emikhiqizweni yezentengiselwano kanye namathuluzi asekhaya. Ama-toaster kanye nama-hair dryer asebenzisa ama-coil e-nichrome wire ukudala ukushisa okukhulu, njengoba kwenza ama-toaster oven kanye nama-storage heater. Ama-industrial furna asebenzisa ucingo lwe-nichrome ukuze asebenze. Ubude be-nichrome wire bungasetshenziswa futhi ukudala i-hot wire cutter, engasetshenziswa ekhaya noma endaweni yezimboni ukusika nokubumba ama-foam nama-plastic athile.

Intambo ye-Nichrome yenziwe nge-alloy engeyona i-magnetic eyakhiwe ngokuyinhloko yi-nickel, i-chromium, ne-iron. I-Nichrome ibonakala ngokumelana kwayo okuphezulu kanye nokumelana okuhle kwe-oxidation. Intambo ye-Nichrome nayo inokuguquguquka okuhle ngemva kokusetshenziswa kanye nokushibilika okuhle kakhulu.

Inombolo eza ngemuva kohlobo lwentambo ye-Nichrome ikhombisa iphesenti le-nickel ku-alloy. Isibonelo, i-"Nichrome 60" ine-nickel engaba ngu-60% ekwakhiweni kwayo.

Izicelo ze-Nichrome wire zifaka phakathi izinto zokushisa zemishini yokomisa izinwele, ama-heat sealers, kanye nokusekelwa kwe-ceramic kuma-oven.
