'''Nicrosil''' is a [nickel](/source/nickel) [alloy](/source/alloy) containing about 14.4% [chromium](/source/chromium), 1.4% [silicon](/source/silicon), and (in some sources) 0.1% [magnesium](/source/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](/source/Type_N_thermocouple) [thermocouple](/source/thermocouple)s.  In this application another nickel alloy, [Nisil](/source/Nisil), is used as the negative leg.<ref name="Omega, N" >{{cite web
