Stainless Alloy in HVAC Units

It's NiChrome and worth 2 - 4 dollars a pound.

Thanks Freonjoe....

I had taken it to the yard before and their little guns could not properly zap/test the metal since the round wires didn't have enough surface area. I knew these are typical since they are on many old package HVAC units. No one I work with know anything more than they are stainless and they are basing that on the fact a magnet doesn't stick. I knew there had to be folks on here who have dealt with this before.
