Dignity

Chromel is a representative of thermoelectrode alloys based on nickel (up to 91%) and chromium (up to 10%). The alloy is alloyed with iron, manganese, copper, silicon, cobalt. The total content of these impurities does not exceed 1.5%.

• Density of 8.71 g / cm ³ ;
• Melting point + 1500 ° C;
• Hot rolling of the alloy occurs at t ° + 1200 ° C;
• Annealing — at t ° 900 ° C;
• Specific resistance = 0,66 Ohmmm ² / m;

Nickel gives the material heat resistance and corrosion resistance in an aggressive environment, due to the formation of a surface oxide film. Chromel is distinguished by a significant thermo-emf in contact with other materials. The increase in thermoelectromotive force with heating occurs almost rectilinearly from 0 to 1000 ° C. The magnitude of the thermoelectromotive force of the chromelium strongly depends on the cooling rate after annealing. The value of thermo-emf is lower the more rapidly the metal cools. When measuring t ° more than 600 ° C, the instruments give an error of 6%. With the artificial inhibition of the cooling of the alloy from 600 ° to 205 ° C, the thermoelectromotive force stabilizes and the accuracy of the readings increases.

limitations

Chromel is inert in reducing and oxidizing to t ° 1000 ° C, but a high percentage of nickel makes it sensitive to hot hydrogen and sulfur. On the surface a green coating forms, reducing the thermoelectric potential and increasing the fragility of the material. Wire-chromel, because of the nickel base, has a high cost.

Application of

Chromel wire is more popular than a tape or a circle. Such a wire is used in heating devices, thermocouples, rheostats, compensating wires. In thermocouples, chromel-alumel chromel is used as a positive electrode to t ° 1000 ° C. Since the electric potential grows linearly with increasing temperature, this greatly simplifies the calibration of pyrometers.
