About Kanthal APM Wire
HJ407–A Kanthal APM Replacement
1: History-Where did this material come from?
Sandvik once established production line in China in 1980s and abandoned it later. Basing on this production line and over 20 years’ research, we developed HJ209 and HJ407 as replacement of Kanthal A1 and Kanthal APM. They are produced with the same scientific principle–powder metallurgy technology.
2: Quality Concern–Cost Effectiveness
The HJ407’s properties are equivalent to Kanthal APM, but its price is only about $28/KG~$45/KG (Final price depends on product size and ordering quantity). Want cheaper one? The HJ209’s properties are equivalent to Kanthal A1, and much better than Kanthal D. Its price is only $20/KG~$35/KG. You can use HJ407 as Kanthal APM and Kanthal A1 replacement.

HJ407(Kanthal APM Replacement) Key Features:
1. Low tendency to ageing and low resistance change
2. Small change in resistivity
3. High creep resistance
4. Excellent surface oxidization properties
5. Excellent for high temperature heating, up to 1425°C
HJ407(Kanthal APM Replacement) takes refined master alloy as raw material, uses powder metallurgy technology to manufacture alloy ingots, and is manufactured by special cold and hot processing and heat treatment process. The product has the advantages of strong oxidation resistance, good corrosion resistance at high temperature, small creep of electro-thermal components, long service life at high temperature and small change of resistance. HJ407 is suitable for high temperature application (max1425 °C), high power density, corrosive atmosphere, carbon atmosphere and other working environments.
HJ407 can be used in ceramic kilns, high temperature heat treatment furnaces, laboratory furnaces, electronic industrial furnaces and diffusion furnaces.
