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 20g 50 ft - Annealed Soft - 0.64 Ohms/ft Resistance - Max Operating Temp: 2150°F / 1180°C ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CHTY1VV | | Best Sellers Rank | #204,436 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #947 in Electrical Wire | | Brand Name | Master Wire Supply | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (686) | | Gauge | 20.0 | | Item Weight | 3 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Master Wire Supply | | Material Type | Nickel-chromium alloy | | Number Of Wires | 1 | | Strands | Single Strand | | UPC | 742415912454 | | Unit Count | 50 Count | | Wire Diameter | 0.81 Millimeters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Master Wire Supply - **Color:** Silver - **Gauge:** 20.0 - **Material:** Nickel-chromium alloy - **Number of Cable Strands:** Single Strand ## Images ![Nichrome 80-50' - 20 Gauge Wire - 50ft - 0.81mm - 0.032in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81W2rUv9BPL.jpg) ![Nichrome 80-50' - 20 Gauge Wire - 50ft - 0.81mm - 0.032in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816PZhVBcxL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this wire strong enough to make a "skeleton" for a clay sculpture of a standing person? I need wire that is about the thickness of a paper clip.** A: No, it's not. I've done some sculpting myself, but never a human form. I found the following at https://www.instructables.com/id/CREATING-A-FIGURE-ARMATURE-FOR-SCULPTURE/ (Materials needed) -1/8th aluminium armature wire -1/16th aluminium armature wire -Small gauge galvanized steel wire (18 gauge or thinner is best) **Q: Is this wire insulated?** A: No it’s not insulated.this wire gets red hot when hooked up to a power source so why would you want to insulate it.this type of wire is used in things such as hair dryers etc. **Q: What voltage is best for this wire to reach 600*C?** A: I have no way of measuring the temperature of the wire. I use a BMOUO 12V 30A DC Universal Regulated Switching Power Supply 360W ordered from Amazon. I used a dimmer switch to control output to Nichrome wire. This setup was enough to make the wire glow red hot and even burn in two if adjusted too high. **Q: Can i use this wire for a pendant lamp, like a electrical wire?** A: No.please don’t ## Frequently Bought Together - Nichrome 80-50' - 20 Gauge Wire - 50ft - 0.81mm - 0.032in - Made in USA - Master Wire Supply - 18 Gauge High Temp Wire Nichrome Heat Resistant Wire General Purpose Support Wire Craft Wire (Length 16.4Ft) - 200 Pieces High Temperature Nichrome Wire Jump Rings, 21 Gauge with a Plastic Storage Box, U Hanger Hooks for Hobbyists DIY Pendant, Ceramic Ornaments, Fusing in Glass --- ## 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.sn/products/63143767-nichrome-80-50-20-gauge-wire-50ft-0-81mm-0](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/63143767-nichrome-80-50-20-gauge-wire-50ft-0-81mm-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
