Nichrome, inozivikanwawo se nickel chrome, isimbi inogadzirwa nekusanganisa nickel, chromium uye, dzimwe nguva, iron. Inozivikanwa zvikuru nekuda kwekudzivirira kwayo kupisa, pamwe nekudzivirira kwayo ngura uye oxidation, simbi iyi inobatsira zvikuru kune akawanda mashandisirwo. Kubva pakugadzira maindasitiri kusvika pabasa rekuzvifadza, nichrome muchimiro chewaya inowanikwa muzvigadzirwa zvakasiyana-siyana zvemabhizinesi, hunyanzvi uye maturusi. Inowanawo mashandisirwo munzvimbo dzakasarudzwa.

Waya yeNichrome imhando yesimbi yakagadzirwa nenickel nechromium. Inodzivirira kupisa uye oxidation uye inoshanda sechinhu chinodziisa muzvigadzirwa zvakaita sematoaster nehair dryers. Vanhu vanofarira kushandisa waya yeNichrome mukugadzira zvifananidzo zveceramic negirazi. Waya iyi inogona kuwanikwawo mumarabhoritari, kuvaka uye mune zvemagetsi zvehunyanzvi.

Nekuti waya ye nichrome haipindi magetsi zvakanyanya, inobatsira zvikuru sechinhu chinodziisa muzvigadzirwa zvemabhizinesi nemidziyo yepamba. Matosta nehair dryer anoshandisa ma coil e waya ye nichrome kugadzira kupisa kwakawanda, sezvinoita maovheni e toaster ne storage heaters. Maovheni emaindasitiri anoshandisawo waya ye nichrome kushanda. Waya ye nichrome yakareba inogona kushandiswawo kugadzira hot wire cutter, iyo inogona kushandiswa kumba kana munzvimbo yemaindasitiri kucheka nekugadzira mamwe mafuro nemapurasitiki.

Waya yeNichrome yakagadzirwa nesimbi isina magineti inoumbwa zvakanyanya nenickel, chromium, nesimbi. Nichrome inoratidzwa nekusimba kwayo kwakanyanya uye kuramba kwayo kuoxidation zvakanaka. Waya yeNichrome ine ductility yakanaka mushure mekushandiswa uye kugona kwayo kusundira zvakanaka.

Nhamba inouya mushure merudzi rwewaya yeNichrome inoratidza huwandu hwenickel mu alloy. Semuenzaniso, "Nichrome 60" ine inenge 60% yeNickel mukugadzirwa kwayo.

Mashandisirwo eNichrome wire anosanganisira zvinhu zvinodziya zvemuchina wekuomesa bvudzi, zvinovhara kupisa, uye zvinotsigira zveceramic mumakiln.
