The material 1.4860 is particularly characterized by its high specific resistance and its relatively affordable price compared to other nickel-chromium alloys. Despite its relatively high iron content, this alloy is resistant to oxidation and chemical corrosion. It is suitable for high-quality electrical resistors and heating wires for all applications, including heating strips and heating cables. The maximum operating temperature in air is +600 °C for resistance wires and +1,050 °C for heating wires.
The material 1.4860 has good ductility after long periods of use, good mechanical properties at high temperatures, and good weldability.
Properties of material 1.4860:
- resistant to oxidation and chemical corrosion
- non-magnetic
- maximum operating temperature in air +600 °C
