I-Nichrome, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-nickel chrome, yi-alloy eveliswa ngokuxuba i-nickel, i-chromium, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha, i-iron. Eyaziwa kakhulu ngokumelana kwayo nobushushu, kunye nokuchasana kwayo nokugqwala kunye ne-oxidation, i-alloy iluncedo kakhulu kwizicelo ezininzi. Ukusuka kwimveliso yemizi-mveliso ukuya kumsebenzi wokuzilibazisa, i-nichrome ekwimo yecingo ikhona kwiimveliso ezahlukeneyo zorhwebo, ubugcisa kunye nezixhobo. Ikwafumana ukusetyenziswa kwiindawo ezikhethekileyo.

Intambo yeNichrome yingxubevange eyenziwe nge-nickel kunye ne-chromium. Iyamelana nobushushu kunye ne-oxidation kwaye isebenza njengento yokufudumeza kwiimveliso ezifana nee-toaster kunye nee-hair dryers. Abathandi bezinto zokuzilibazisa basebenzisa intambo yeNichrome ekwenzeni imifanekiso ye-ceramic kunye neglasi. Intambo inokufumaneka nakwiilabhoratri, ulwakhiwo kunye nee-elektroniki ezikhethekileyo.

Ngenxa yokuba ucingo lwe-nichrome luxhathisa kakhulu umbane, luluncedo kakhulu njengento yokufudumeza kwiimveliso zorhwebo kunye nezixhobo zasekhaya. Ii-toaster kunye nee-hair dryer zisebenzisa ii-coils ze-nichrome wire ukwenza ubushushu obuninzi, njengoko kunjalo ngee-oven ze-toaster kunye nezifudumezi zokugcina izinto. Ii-oven ze-industrial nazo zisebenzisa ucingo lwe-nichrome ukusebenza. Ubude becingo lwe-nichrome bungasetyenziselwa ukwenza i-hot wire cutter, engasetyenziswa nokuba ekhaya okanye kwindawo ye-industrial ukusika nokubumba amagwebu athile kunye neeplastiki.

Ucingo lweNichrome lwenziwe nge-alloy engeyomagnethi eyenziwe ngokuyintloko yi-nickel, i-chromium, kunye ne-iron. I-Nichrome ibonakaliswa kukumelana kwayo okuphezulu kunye nokumelana okuhle kwe-oxidation. Ucingo lweNichrome lukwanokuqina okuhle emva kokusetyenziswa kunye nokudityaniswa okuhle kakhulu.

Inani eliza emva kohlobo lwentambo yeNichrome libonisa ipesenti ye-nickel kwi-alloy. Umzekelo, i-"Nichrome 60" inomlinganiselo we-60% weNickel kwisakhiwo sayo.

Usetyenziso lwe-Nichrome wire luquka izinto zokufudumeza ze-hair dryers, i-heat sealers, kunye ne-ceramic support kwii-kilns.
