0.025mm, Karma, NiCr20AlSi, ISAohm 80, Presicion Resisitance alloy
Round Wire / Ribbon
Karma alloy is made up of copper, nickel, Aluminum and Iron as the
main components. The resistivity is 2~3 times higher than MENTONG.
It has lower temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR), lower
thermal EMF versus copper, good permanence of resistance for a long
period of time and strong anti-oxidation. Its working temperature
range is wider than MENTONG (-60~300℃). It is suitable for making
fine precision resistance elements and strain.
Starting with Nickel Chromium electric heat wire Class 1, we
replaced some of the Ni with
Al and other elements, and thus achieved a precision resistance
material with improved
resistance temperature coefficient and heat electromotive force
against copper.
With the addition of Al, we have succeeded in making volume
resistivity 1.2 times greater
than Nickel Chromium electric heat wire Class 1 and the tensile
strength 1.3 times greater.
The secondary temperature coefficient β of Karmalloy wire KMW is very small, - 0.03 × 10-6/ K2,
and the resistance temperature curve turns out to be almost a
straight line within a wide
temperature range.
Therefore, the temperature coefficient is set to be the average
temperature coefficient between
23 ~ 53 °C, but 1 × 10-6/K, the average temperature coefficient between 0 ~ 100 °C, also may
be adopted for the temperature coefficient.
Electromotive force against copper between 1 ~ 100 °C is also small, below + 2 μV/K, and
exhibits excellent stability over a period of many years.
If this is to be used as a precision resistance material, low
temperature heat treatment is
required to eliminate processing distortions just as in the case of
Manganin wire CMW.
