=== Standard compositions ===
Nichrome alloys for use in resistance heating are described by both ASTM and DIN standards.<ref>{{Cite report |url=http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/resolver.cgi?B344-20 |title=Specification for Drawn or Rolled Nickel-Chromium and Nickel-Chromium-Iron Alloys for Electrical Heating Elements |last=B02 Committee |publisher=ASTM International |doi=10.1520/b0344-20 |language=en|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{Cite report |url=https://www.beuth.de/de/-/-/1151382 |title=DIN 17470:1984-10, Heizleiterlegierungen; Technische Lieferbedingungen für Rund- und Flachdrähte |publisher=Beuth Verlag GmbH |doi=10.31030/1164343|url-access=subscription }}</ref> These standards specify the relative percentages of [[nickel]] and [[chromium]] that should be present in an alloy. In ASTM three alloys that are specified contain, amongst other trace elements:

* 80% Ni, 20% Cr
* 60% Ni, 16% Cr
* 35% Ni, 20% Cr
