When it comes to the demanding conditions of kilns, ceramic processing lines, and other high-temperature industrial equipment, one material consistently stands out: Cr20Ni30 Nichrome Strip. This alloy combines strength, resistance stability, and reliability in environments where extreme heat and oxidative stress are the norm. At DLX, we focus on delivering high-performance Cr20Ni30 Nichrome Strip that not only meets technical requirements but also enhances the efficiency and lifespan of your industrial systems.
For more details, pls directly contact us.
The Cr20Ni30 alloy is composed of approximately 20% chromium and 30% nickel, with iron making up the balance. This carefully engineered ratio gives the strip a strong combination of properties: excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures, consistent resistivity, and mechanical strength even after long-term exposure to harsh furnace atmospheres.
Unlike higher-nickel nichrome grades, Cr20Ni30 finds its niche in applications where both mechanical stability and cost-effectiveness are important. It is a preferred option in industries like ceramics and metallurgy, where the thermal cycles are constant, and materials are expected to withstand repeated heating and cooling without losing performance.

In ceramic manufacturing, kilns are the heart of production. They operate at sustained high temperatures, often exceeding 1100°C, and require heating elements that can endure without frequent replacement. Cr20Ni30 Nichrome Strip is a reliable choice for kiln linings, resistance elements, and components in ceramic sintering equipment.
The alloy's strength helps maintain dimensional stability during prolonged heating, reducing warping and deformation. This stability directly translates into better process control and more consistent product quality for manufacturers. Additionally, its resistance to oxidation prevents scaling, which otherwise shortens the life of furnace parts.
In metallurgy, Cr20Ni30 is widely used in resistance elements, industrial furnaces, and heat treatment equipment. Its combination of oxidation resistance and mechanical integrity ensures consistent performance, even under heavy-duty cycles.
Industry Trends
The demand for Cr20Ni30 Nichrome Strip is closely tied to growth in ceramics, advanced materials, and metallurgical industries. As energy efficiency becomes a central focus, kiln and furnace operators are prioritizing materials that extend service life and minimize downtime. Nichrome strips like Cr20Ni30 are increasingly seen as investments in operational reliability.
Global ceramics production, from tiles and refractories to electronic ceramics, continues to rise. The shift toward automation and high-precision production is also pushing demand for materials that deliver predictable performance under stress. Meanwhile, the metallurgical industry relies on alloys like Cr20Ni30 for annealing, sintering, and forging processes that cannot compromise on heat resistance.
