About Kanthal A1 Substitution

A Perfect Kanthal A1 Substitution–HJ209

1: Kanthal A1 Substitution-HJ209’s History

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 HJ208, HJ209 and HJ407 as substitution of Kanthal A1 and Kanthal APM. They are produced with the same scientific principle–powder metallurgy technology. 

2: Kanthal A1 Substitution–HJ209’s High Quality and Cost Effectiveness

The HJ209 was developed as substitution of Kanthal A1, its properties are equivalent to Kanthal A1, but its price is only about $22/kg~$38/kg (Final price depends on product size and ordering quantity).

Do you need better one? We have HJ407, its properties are equivalent to Kanthal APM, much better than Kanthal A1. Its price is only $28/KG~$45/KG. You can even use HJ407 as Kanthal A1 substitution. Click here for more information. Free sample is available for testing!

Kanthal A1 Substitution–HJ209’s Key Features:
1. Low tendency to ageing and low resistance change
2. Excellent surface oxidization properties
3. Excellent for high temperature heating, up to 1400°C

Our customers have been using HJ209 as Kanthal A1 substitution for over 8 years. The Long-term test proves that HJ209 is a perfect substitution for kanthal A1. Compared with conventional Fecral alloy products, HJ209’s purity is further improved and the oxidation resistance is further optimized. Thanks to the special rare earth element combination and unique metallurgical manufacturing process, this material’s performance has been recognized by domestic and foreign customers in field of high temperature ceramic sintering, diffusion furnace, high power density and high temperature industrial furnaces.
