What is real ingridients of NiChrome? Can Vitaly NiChrome exist?

Hello! As I know, nichrome has 60% of nickel and the balance is chrome (I knew it from Wikipedia and Google), and some variations, like 80/20 nickel/chrome.
My friend Vitaly know a lot of things and he told me that 80/20 and 60/40 nickel/chrome is before 95 year.
Nowadays real nichrome has 12-35 of nickel, about 47% chrome and the balance zink and aluminum.

He says that Wiki is false, what can you say about it?

Possibly depends on what kind of nichrome you use/buy.

"The number that comes after the Nichrome wire type indicates the percentage of nickel in the alloy. For example, "Nichrome 60" has approximately 60% Nickel in its composition."

Yes, I agree, but I could not found something like nichrome=nickel12%+chrome47%+zinc+aluminum

The number in Nichrome represents the percentage of Nickel and most of the rest is Chrome, with small amounts of Carbon, Silicon, Manganese and Iron.
