Answer:
Nichrome: Most resistance wire heating elements usually use nichrome 80/20 (80% Nickel, 20% Chromium) wire, ribbon, or strip. Nichrome 80/20 is an ideal material, because it has relatively high resistance and forms an adherent layer of chromium oxide when it is heated for the first time.

A nichrome wire is used as a heating element because of its high melting point and high resistivity (low conductivity) also. Having a high melting does not allow the nichrome wire to melt easily when a large amount of heat is produced.
