A coiled heating element is manufactured by providing a coiled element (1) of bare resistance wire (2) in which the coil pitch is not greater than twice the cross-sectional dimension of the wire. The element (1) is stretched by an amount permitting recovery to its original configuration and an electrically insulating particulate material (3) is applied to the stretched element. The stretched element is then allowed to return towards its original configuration thus trapping particulate material between adjacent coils of the element and the element is heated so as to oxidise the surface of the wire. |
