Question

the element of electric iron is made up of​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is an 80 percent nickel and 20 percent chromium alloy with nickel and chromium. It has a high melting point of 1400 degrees C.

Answer 2

Nichrome

• In an electric iron, nichrome serves as the heating element. It's a nickel-chromium alloy with an 80% nickel and 20% chromium content.
• It has a 1400°C melting temperature. Nickel and chromium make about 80% of nichrome.
• Nichrome is a high-strength material with a high creep resistance.
• It has a high melting point, which means it can tolerate high temperatures.

The following are some of the characteristics that make nichrome appropriate for use as an electric iron heating element:

• It produces an oxide layer when heated for the first time.

• The oxide formed is stable even at high temperatures.

• The oxide formed prevents oxidation of the interior material.
