Kanthal APM Substitute

About Kanthal APM Substitute

A Perfect Kanthal APM Wire Substitute–HJ407

1: Kanthal APM Wire Substitute–HJ407’s Development 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 HJ209 and HJ407 as a substitute of Kanthal A1 Wire and Kanthal APM Wire. They are produced with the same scientific principle–powder metallurgy technology.

2: Kanthal APM Wire Substitute–HJ407’s High quality and cost effectiveness

The HJ407 Wire’s properties are equivalent to Kanthal APM Wire, 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 Wire, and much better than Kanthal D Wire. Its price is only $20/KG~$35/KG. You can use HJ407 as Kanthal APM Wire and Kanthal A1 Wire substitute.

Kanthal APM Wire Substitute–HJ407’s 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 Wire 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 Wire 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.
