dwcraig1 225 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 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 @525I 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.

antyac2108 9 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dwcraig1 225 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 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.

antyac2108 9 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 Did you do contact our spaced coils? Also can you dry burn with this wire? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwcraig1 225 Report post Posted April 21, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hornisse 0 Report post Posted February 5 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
