'''Nicrosil''' is a nickel alloy containing about 14.4% chromium, 1.4% silicon, and (in some sources) 0.1% magnesium.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cartech.com/products/wr_products_thermo_nicrosil.html | title=Nicrosil alloy | accessdate=2007-10-31 | archive-date=2007-12-25 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071225053635/http://www.cartech.com/products/wr_products_thermo_nicrosil.html | url-status=dead }}</ref>
Nicrosil is used as the positive leg of type N thermocouples. In this application another nickel alloy, Nisil, is used as the negative leg.<ref name="Omega, N" >{{cite web | url=http://www.omega.com/temperature/Z/pdf/z041-044.pdf | title=Type N thermocouples | accessdate=2007-10-31 | archive-date=2006-10-15 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061015211938/http://www.omega.com/temperature/Z/pdf/z041-044.pdf | url-status=dead }}</ref> The Nicrosil alloy in this case does not contain magnesium.<ref name="Omega, N" />
