Master Wire Supply - Nichrome 80-50' 20 Gauge Resistance Wire

Master Wire Supply - Nichrome 80-50' 20 Gauge Resistance Wire

Q: Is this wire strong enough to make a "skeleton" for a clay sculpture of a standing person? I need wire that is about the thickness of a paper clip.

No, it's not. I've done some sculpting myself, but never a human form. I found the following at https://www.instructables.com/id/CREATING-A-FIGURE-ARMATURE-FOR-SCULPTURE/ (Materials needed) -1/8th aluminium armature wire -1/16th aluminium armature wire -Small gauge galvanized steel wire (18 gauge or thinner is best)

Q: Is this wire insulated?

No it’s not insulated.this wire gets red hot when hooked up to a power source so why would you want to insulate it.this type of wire is used in things such as hair dryers etc.

Q: What voltage is best for this wire to reach 600*C?

I have no way of measuring the temperature of the wire. I use a BMOUO 12V 30A DC Universal Regulated Switching Power Supply 360W ordered from Amazon. I used a dimmer switch to control output to Nichrome wire. This setup was enough to make the wire glow red hot and even burn in two if adjusted too high.
