Construction materials
High-temperature construction materials for the manufacturing of furnace accessories like furnace furniture and furnace rollers. The Kanthal® program of high-temperature construction materials includes iron-chromium-aluminium (FeCrAl) alloys for material temperatures up to 1425°C (2597°F) and nickel-chromium (NiCr) alloys - all available in a variety of products forms. If you need a replacement for PM2000, Kanthal® APMT can be an excellent option.

Iron-chromium-aluminium (FeCrAl) alloys
Kanthal® APMT and Kanthal® APM FeCrAl alloys offer several advantages compared to conventional nickel-chromium alloys (NiCr alloys), such as superior resistance to, for example, oxidation, carburization and thermal shock.
