 30 years in business, Sandvik legacy production line, free samples, ISO certified production line, 7 days shipping time for most sizes!

History:  Sandvik once established production line in China in 1980s and abandoned it later. on this production line and over 30 years’ research and upgrade, we developed HJ209 and HJ407 as substitute of Kanthal A1 and Kanthal APM. Where are HJ209 and HJ407 used? They are being used in ceramic kilns, high temperature heat treatment furnaces, laboratory furnaces, electronic industrial furnaces and diffusion furnaces. (Click links for detailed introductions.)

HJ209 and HJ407 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 (HJ209 up to 1400°C, HJ407 up to 1425℃)

Our Kanthal A1, APM Substitute’s Quality & Cost Effectiveness:

• HJ209 Wire has max working temperature of 1400℃; and better yeld strength and lower sagging rate than Kanthal A1 in high temperature. HJ209’s price is only $18/KG~$25/KG. 
• HJ407 Wire has max working temperature of 1425℃, but its price is only about $28/KG~$48/KG.

Note: Final price depends on product size and ordering quantity.

How HJ209 and HJ407 are produced:

1: Uses refined master alloy as raw material;

2: Uses powder metallurgy technology to manufacture alloy ingots;

3: Manufacture with special cold and hot processing and heat treatment process.

HJ209 and HJ407 Available Form and Sizes:

Wire: diameter range :0.05-8.5mm

Bar: diameter range: 3mm-30mm
Ribbon and Flat Wire:  thickness 0.05mm-2.5mm width 0.5-50mm

Heating Coil : can be customized.

How a Successful Kanthal Replacement is Achieved:

Our material is engineered to match the critical properties of standard Kanthal A1 and Kanthal APM.

1. Precise Material Matching: such as chemical composition, resistivity, temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and maximum operating temperature.
2. Performance Parity in Core Areas: oxidation resistance, high-temperature stability and longevity.
3. Superior Consistency: dimensional accuracy, Batch-to-Batch consistency, cost-effectiveness and
4. Supply Chain Advantages: supply security & flexibility: A reliable alternative source with potential for faster lead times and customized packaging. We ship world wide in very short delivery time. 
   • 7 days: we keep several commonly used sizes in stock, they can be shipped within 7days by air or by sea.
   • 15days: if the size you need is not available in stock, we can produce it by order. The delivery time is 15 days normally.
   • 20-25days: if the ordering quantity is very large(> 5tons per size), the delivery time will be around 20-25days.

What we need from you to ensure perfect Kanthal replacement:

To guarantee a seamless switch, we require clarity on your exact application and the specific Kanthal grade you are currently using. Please share:

1. Target Application: Industrial furnace, heating element, household appliance, or vaping coil? (Operating environment is key).
2. Current Kanthal Grade: (e.g., A1, APM, D, AF, etc.) or its key properties.
3. Wire Specifications: Diameter, shape (round/ribbon), resistivity, and required operating temperature.
4. Performance Focus: What is most critical for you? (e.g., ultimate lifespan, forming/weldability, rapid cycling stability).

Note: Kanthal A1 and Kanthal APM are brand name owned by Sandvik, Sweden for a family of FeCrAl alloys.
