Scott Precision Wire concentric stranded resistance wires are specially manufactured to provide consistent resistance and heating characteristics.
Cromaloy 1 is austenitic in character which provides better ductility when compared with the ferritic Iron Chrome Aluminium alloys.
Resistance 0276 – 0.304 Ω/m
