FeCrAl and Kanthal are terms often used interchangeably, but they refer to slightly different things in the context of materials used for heating elements. We produce high quality Kanthal A1 and Kanthal APM substitutes. FeCrAl: Kanthal: Key Differences: In summary, FeCrAl is the general category of alloys, and Kanthal is a specific, high-quality brand within … Continue reading What is the difference between FeCrAl and kanthal?

Nichrome wire is primarily used for its high resistance and ability to withstand high temperatures. Here are some common applications: Overall, nichrome wire’s combination of high resistivity, oxidation resistance, and ability to withstand high temperatures makes it versatile for many heating and resistance applications.

Nichrome (Nickel-Chromium alloy) is one of the most commonly used materials for heating elements due to its unique combination of properties that make it ideal for this purpose. We produce high quality Nichrome wire and Nichrome heating elements. Here are the key reasons why Nichrome is widely used as a heating element:   High Resistivity … Continue reading Why is nichrome used as a heating element?
