Improve element performance with Kanthal APM FeCrAl alloy

Kanthal APM iron-chromium-aluminium (FeCrAl) alloy can be used to improve the element performance at high temperatures, where conventional metallic elements suffer from problems like bunching, creeping and oxide spallation.

The improved hot strength and excellent oxidation properties of the Kanthal APM FeCrAl alloy open up new applications where metallic elements are not used today.

Advantages of using Kanthal APM FeCrAl alloy

Improved hot strength provides:

  • Much better form stability of the heating element
  • Less need for element support
  • Low resistance change (ageing)
  • Longer element life

Excellent oxide provides:

  • Good protection in most atmospheres, especially in corrosive atmospheres
  • No scaling and impurities
  • A longer element life
