I doubt though that they are Nickle, I suspect that they are perhaps SS because they are quite stiff.
Yep, looks like Ni200 to me. Almost doubled resistance from room to hot.Tempered Ni200 is as stiff as Kanthal. I used it first when I first used TC. I think I still have a little bit left.
After I'm done with my Jimmy Dean sausage, eggs and pancakes I will disprove what I proved here, stay tuned...Yep, looks like Ni200 to me. Almost doubled resistance from room to hot.

Never mind, what got me thinking that there was something wrong was the fact that it was a Ni200 profile yet the wire got red hot, dull red.After I'm done with my Jimmy Dean sausage, eggs and pancakes I will disprove what I proved here, stay tuned...
Here's a hint, I didn't tell that the wire was probably 1000 F

I only used the longest leg, resembled a staple mounted in an RBAJust because it may have nickel legs, you can't do TC with it using a Ni200 nickel profile. Because the TFR/TCR of the wire is a combo of Kanthal and Ni200. It is probably closer to SS though. Plus there is a delay of temperature change when depending on TC by the legs alone. A little too much wattage and it will overshoot from the start.
