Comparison with Other Materials
To help you understand why Cr10Ni90 stands out, here’s a quick comparison with other common materials:
Parameter | Cr10Ni90 Nichrome | Kanthal (FeCrAl) | Copper | Stainless Steel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Max Operating Temp (°C) | 1200 | 1400 | 200 | 800 |
Electrical Resistivity (μΩ·m) | 1.0-1.1 | 1.35-1.45 | 0.017 | 0.7-0.8 |
Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Good | Poor | Moderate |
Tensile Strength (MPa) | 650-800 | 600-700 | 200-400 | 500-700 |
Oxidation Resistance | High (Cr oxide layer) | High | Low | Moderate |
Density (g/cm³) | 8.4 | 7.1 | 8.9 | 7.8 |
Cost Efficiency | High | Moderate | High | Moderate |
Aerospace Suitability | Excellent | Good | Limited | Moderate |
Cr10Ni90’s lower resistivity and superior corrosion resistance make it a top pick for aerospace, where efficiency and durability are critical. Unlike copper, it thrives in high-heat environments, and compared to stainless steel, it offers better oxidation resistance. Kanthal holds up at higher temps but lacks the same level of corrosion resistance and versatility.
