# CuNi6 Alloy Wire

CuNi6 is a **[NiCu alloy wire](https://cvsicelement.com/resistance-wire/cuni/)** built for stable industrial electric heating jobs like ovens, heat treat equipment, and non-stop furnaces.

## Standout Features of CuNi6

CuNi6 is basically an “engineering upgrade” from CuNi2.

- Nickel bumped to around 6%

- Resistivity jumps up (≈ 0.12 μΩ·m)—keeps great heat conduction but allows short-segment or low-power heating.

- Temp coefficient drops noticeably—fits basic power control setups.

- Processes super easy—drawing, welding no hassle—great for cost-watch OEM.

- Nice sweet spot between stability and price

This is the go-to model for lots of medium-low temp industrial gear.

- Steadier than CuNi2

- Cheaper than CuNi10

- Pretty forgiving on design
