Of inconel and hastelloy, which would be closer to plain ol' ordinary
nichrome, like you'd use in a heating element?

All three are families of alloys that cover lots of territory. If you
pick a specific nichrome alloy you do a composition search on Matweb
to find the closest match.

Thanks! I have numbers here that I can look up. Probably should have,
but that isn't anywhere near as much fun as asking real live people. :-)

Thanks!
