What is another word for nichrome?
Pronunciation: [nˈɪʃɹə͡ʊm] (IPA) 
Nichrome is an alloy of nickel and chromium commonly used in heating elements due to its high electrical resistivity and low temperature coefficient of resistance. However, there are several other materials that can be used as a replacement for nichrome. One of these is Kanthal, an iron-chromium-aluminum alloy that is known for its high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance. Another alternative to nichrome is Tungsten, a metal with a very high melting point and low coefficient of thermal expansion. Titanium nitride, molybdenum disilicide, and silicon carbide are also viable options for heating elements, each with their own unique properties that make them suitable for specific applications.
