From what I can tell, there are actually 3 of them... Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), and Iron (Fe). The three are combined in certain percentages to make an allow called "Nichrome", as it has high electrical resistivity, a high melting point, and won't oxidize (or rust) at high temperatures.
Nichrome is commonly used in heating elements for toasters, hair dryers, and ovens due to its high resistance to heat and electricity. It is also used in the manufacturing of electric stovetops and industrial furnaces.
Chromium is the element that combined with nickel to form nichrome wire. The addition of chromium increases the wire's electrical resistivity, making it ideal for applications where high heat generation is needed, such as in toasters.
A heating element is used to generate heat in devices like ovens, toasters, and electric stoves. It converts electrical energy into heat through resistance, allowing these devices to cook or heat food.
1). You want the resistance of the heating element to be somewhat more than the resistance of a pure iron one. 2). When the heating element heats up to glowing, you don't want it to melt and fall to the bottom of the toaster in a blob. So you need a substance with a melting temperature higher than that of pure iron.
Toasters are made of metal to withstand the heat from the red hot elements that toast the bread.

toasters obviously have alot of heat
Toasters use infrared radiation to heat and toast bread. The heating elements inside the toaster emit infrared radiation, which causes the bread to brown and crisp up through the process of thermal radiation.
2500 decrees Fahrenheit
Yes, toasters use infrared radiation to heat and toast bread. This type of radiation is emitted by electric heating elements within the toaster. It heats up the bread and causes it to brown and crisp.
Heat is a form of energy and in appliances like toasters energy is transmitted into the metal of the toaster causing the heat. Resistance to the flow of the electricity through the coils of wire in the toaster create heat. ---/////--- more coils equals more heat. ---/////////////---.
Toasters and light bulbs are both electrical appliances that convert electrical energy into heat or light. They both use a filament or coil that heats up when electricity passes through it, though the purpose and outcome of the heat produced is different for each appliance.
Electric Toasters have microwave waves because microwave waves can penetrate food whereas infra - red waves cannot.
No. Toasters covert electrical energy to heat energy, but no mechanical energy is involved.
It is nearly always Nichrome wire. The same is used for space heaters, etc.
No. Toasters generally have heating elements, a mechanical or electronic timer, and a spring loaded tray on which toastable items rest. There are some larger industrial model toasters that do have electric motors that pass toastable items past the heating element, typically on a chain belt, but the toaster in your kitchen is not likely one of these.
