Hello,

I was wondering what metal can be used when electricity is passed through that it generates a significant amount of heat. Somewhere near fire temps, but with out melting.

Tungsten like that used in incandescent and halogen light bulbs and as long as the tungsten isn't exposed to oxygen.

Nickel-chromium (a.k.a. nichrome) resistance wire used in electric heating elements for kitchen ranges, cooking ovens, pottery kilns, electric clothes dryer, ..., etc.
