Annealed for flexibility and durability, this USA-made wire is ideal for industrial and hobby heating applications requiring consistent performance and longevity. ## Description **Wire Specifications:** - Diameter: 24 Gauge / 0.51mm - Shape: Round - Alloy: Nichrome 80 (80% Ni, 19.5% Cr, 1.45% Si) - Length: 100 ft. - Heat Treatment: Annealed (soft) - Melting Temperature: 2552°F / 1400°C - Maximum Continuous Operating Temperature: 2150°F / 1180°C - Resistance: 1.61 Ohms/ft at room temperature Nichrome 80 Wire has a low temperature coefficient of resistance and minimal change in resistance during its service life. These properties ensure faster heat-up times, more uniform operating temperatures, and a longer useful life. Its excellent mechanical stability minimizes variables in element design, ensures even stretch in coiled form, and eliminates problems such as shrinkage, growth, sag, or distortion in use. This wire is intended for the repair and maintenance of electronic components. Typical applications include industrial and hobby hot-wire foam cutters, internal support in ceramics, home and industrial heaters, diffusion heaters, dishwashers, cooking plates, electric blankets, hair dryers, kerosene-fired appliances, kettles, refrigerators, rice cookers, tumble dryers, washing machines, and electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces used in heat treatment, glass, steel, and electronics industries. ## Features - Wire for Industrial and hobby hot-wire foam cutters, heaters, hair dryers, kettles, refrigerators, ect… - Nichrome 80 24g 100 ft - Annealed soft - 1.6 Ohms/ft Resistance - For use at temperatures up to 1180°C (2150°F) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CJ2JG6D | | Best Sellers Rank | #51,853 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #301 in Electrical Wire | | Brand Name | Master Wire Supply | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (538) | | Gauge | 24 | | Manufacturer | Master Wire Supply | | Material Type | Nichrome | | Number Of Wires | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Strands | Single Strand | | UPC | 742415912522 | | Unit Count | 100 Feet | | Wire Diameter | 0.51 millimeters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Master Wire Supply - **Color:** Silver - **Gauge:** 24 - **Material:** Nichrome - **Number of Cable Strands:** Single Strand ## Images ![Nichrome 80-100' - 24 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.51mm - 0.02in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xWJSqttmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used for glass fusion?** A: I do not know. I do not think it could get hot enough without burning out. **Q: Does it have an insulation on it?** A: This is just wires, no insulation comes with it.. **Q: how do I find out the gage of wire that is in my coil element? what tool do I use to measure** A: You need to use a set of calipers. **Q: Can this be used in the interior of ceramics for reinforcement fired at cone 05?** A: Cone 05 reaches temperatures of 1888°F at a ramp rate of 108°F/hr. This wire is rated at 2150°F so Cone 05 thermal process will not weaken or yield the integrity of this wire at full set as it is below the yield strength temperature limitations of the material I believe you would be fine to use this wire at Cone 05 firing temperatures. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nichrome 80-100' - 24 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.51mm - 0.02in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Nichrome 80-100' - 22 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.65mm - 0.025in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Nichrome 80-100' - 26 Gauge Wire - 100ft - 0.4mm - 0.016in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/61927248-nichrome-80-100-24-gauge-wire-100ft-0-51mm-0](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/61927248-nichrome-80-100-24-gauge-wire-100ft-0-51mm-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
