Introduction
BRIGHTRAY alloy 35 is a nickel-chromium alloy which is doped with rare earth metals for better corrosion resistance when subjected to wide temperature fluctuations. This is an electrical resistance alloy that can be used for operating temperatures up to 1050°C (1920°F). Another characteristic of this alloy is its high temperature coefficient. The standard form that this product is available in is wires.
