If they are nichrome then 8 months melting 100#
of batch 3 times a week is really good.

That's what I thought for years untill Tom at Pine Ridge called Paragon for some specs to make a match for Mike down in UT (whom I eagerly await news of the new furnace from - he's using a stock ST100 crown). To my suprise I was running nichrome all this time

, and still getting 6-8 months off of them.

There's another ST100 going on 7 months and he has the nichrome wire.
Might be worth the call to verify.
