Nifethal 70?

[antyac2108]

Has anyone used or heard of this wire? Also if so what experience have you had using it or heard about using it.

Well Zivipf has Nife 30 which is 70% nickel. The listed TCR is 520. Note Zivipf calls their Nife52 48.
Here is Kanthal's data sheet for Nife70, note the composition. 
Steamengine lists Nifethal70 (alloy 120) TCR @525
I assume that Zivipf's Nife30 is Nifethal 120, I have it, perhaps I'll give it a try tonight and report back.
I'm a big fan of Dicodes nife 30 btw which is 30% nickel (I think)
Interesting that you posted about it as it was already on my mind.

Well I was getting ready to do a wire order and came across it on kidney puncher. I also found a good review on Google when I searched for the wire.

I am going to order some tomorrow I think

So I went ahead and made a couple of Zivipf Nife 30 coils, keep in mind that they are 70% nickel so that yields a fairly low resistance.
Also the TCR is high so  temp accuracy is easy for the board.
My coils are 8.5 wraps, 2 mm id, 26 gauge wire, x2, that come out to 0.6? which is a bit lower than I prefer but still doable.
I really see no real advantage using it over Nife48/52 but it is working well.

Did you do contact our spaced coils? Also can you dry burn with this wire?

[dwcraig1]

I do mainly contact coils, and dry burn it. Perhaps I shouldn't but I do.
I used it all night at work, doing well.

Awesome I'm on kidney puncher right now ordering it

NiFethal70 works perfect in TC mode with DNA. I also use NiFethal52, but sometimes I experienced temperature disturbances.  NiFe70 is much more consistent and precise.

Does the Nifethal 70 need a new wire type?  My ohms jump around like crazy when I use the NiFe70 in NiFe30 mode

Steam Engine has a calculator that can generate CSVs for custom materials.

Cool site.  They don't have the NIFe70 wire type but definitely a good resource

SteamEngine_NiFethal70-DNA200.csv

Nife70 and Nife30 are generally the same wire. One lists Ni content and the other lists Fe content.

Im on a 75C, didn't think I could use the one on the site... but seems to be working thanks!

If because it says DNA200, well at the time the 200 was the only board to use EScribe.......then he others came along. Even though it says DNA200 it is for all the Escribe capable boards with the exception of the Go board.
