nichrome
Heating element metal
Nichrome is an alloy of nickel and chromium, valued for its high electrical resistance and ability to withstand extreme heat without oxidizing.
It's the wire in toasters, hair dryers, and electric heating elements—the coils that glow red when current passes through.
The name blends nickel and chrome.
