Kanthal APM represents a specialized evolution of traditional Kanthal wire specifically engineered to overcome the most significant limitation in high-temperature furnace design: element deformation at extreme temperatures. Here’s how this advanced material transforms furnace performance. The Critical Challenge in High-Temperature Furnaces In furnaces operating above 1100°C (2012°F), standard heating elements face a fundamental mechanical problem: … Continue reading Kanthal APM & High-Temperature Furnaces: The Premium Performance Pairing

Yes, absolutely. High-quality FeCrAl (Iron-Chromium-Aluminum) resistance alloy wire is a direct and fully capable replacement for Kanthal-brand FeCrAl wire in the vast majority of applications. However, to give you a complete and accurate answer, it’s critical to understand the distinction:    “Kanthal” is a famous brand name (owned by Sandvik, Sweden) for a family of … Continue reading Can your FeCrAl resistance wire replace Kanthal’s FeCrAl wire?

The price of FeCrAl alloys varies depending on the grade, form (wire, ribbon, sheet), quantity, and supplier. Below is a general price comparison for common FeCrAl alloys (as of 2024): Price Range of Popular FeCrAl Alloys (Approximate USD prices per kg for standard wire/ribbon forms, bulk orders) Alloy Grades Price Range (USD/kg) Factors Affecting Price … Continue reading What is FeCrAl Alloy’s Price?

FeCrAl alloys (Iron-Chromium-Aluminum) are widely used in high-temperature applications due to their excellent oxidation resistance, high electrical resistivity, and mechanical strength. Below are FeCrAl alloys key properties: Composition (Typical Range) – Iron (Fe): Base metal (~70-80%)  – Chromium (Cr): 15-22% (enhances oxidation resistance)  – Aluminum (Al): 4-7% (forms protective Al₂O₃ scale)  – Minor additions: Rare … Continue reading FeCrAl Alloy Grades and Properties

FeCrAl and Kanthal are closely related, but there are some key differences between them: Definition & Branding: – FeCrAl stands for Iron-Chromium-Aluminum, which is a general term for alloys composed primarily of these three elements. These alloys are known for their high electrical resistance and oxidation resistance at high temperatures. – Kanthal is a brand … Continue reading What is the difference between FeCrAl and kanthal?
