In wire wizard, in the temp control window, there is a link for DNA200. It gives you a window with the text you need to put into Escribe. It also lets you download it as a CSV.

That's the best list I've found.

Guys need help, I'm now playing around with stainless steel (316L). On nickel at 190c, I'm getting good flavour but on ss I'm not getting the flavour I'm use to at the same temp. What's wrong?

I loaded the file twice with different set of numbers from steam engine. I notice the curve is a little shallower than nickel. Need to find the right file for UD SS 316L - 28 AWG.

I tried most if not all the curves associated with SS on steam engine. In the end I'm getting my best results just entering .001 in the special tab under temperature coefficient of resistance. As a side note, I'm also getting better results using tightly (barely) spaced coils (I use a Billow V2 rta). Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Steve

Edit I'm also using UD316L (I have 24, 26, and 28ga - only used the 26 so far)

I tried making contact coils a few times and I was getting the temperature bouncing pretty wildly. Not completely sure why. I lightly pulsed the coils and they were glowing from the inside out, didn't detect a hot leg. After saying to myself, lets try to space the coils, it looks the same as my Ti1, and Ni200 on Escribe. I'd be interested to hear if the .001 works better for you, if not, what does end up working best. I'm always up to give something else a try if someone is getting better results.

That is exactly what I'm using with the UDSS316 wire, and its working well for me too, much better than the steam-engine curves did.

Not my results, but he has a cheat sheet for wire TCRs he tested toward the bottom of the page: DNA200

I wouldn't bet on UD's stainless steel being the same grade as the one steam engine has in their app. Who knows what the hell grade UD is selling and passing of as 316L. They prob bought the cheapest wire they could get their hands one, and labelled it 316.

Maybe you're right, need to do more research and perhaps make more fine tuning to the profile curve. Thanks for the input.

It's just a thought. Because I do know that different grades of s.s. that are in the same "family" (Like 316 to 316L or 420 to 440) can have very different curves. If you live close to a scrap yard or metal recycling yard, you might convince them to use their handheld XRF on it, and they can tell you exactly what grade it is. You wouldn't have to make a special trip. You could just keep some in your car, and if you drive by, just stop in.

Hope that helps.
