Operating life and maximum permissible temperature

When heated, resistance heating alloys form an oxide layer on their surface, which prevents further oxidation of the material. To accomplish this function the oxide layer must be dense and resist the diffusion of gasses. It must also be thin and adhere to the metal under temperature

Stranded resistance heating wire

Recognizing the need for more precisely controlled stranded wire within the heat treatment industry and working closely with our cable customers, Kanthal has developed a range of stranded resistance wires in the well known Nikrothal®, Kanthal® and nickel alloys. Content: Strand diameter

Copper-nickel alloys

COPPER-NICKEL (CuNi) ALLOYS Copper-nickel (CuNi) alloy Cuprothal® 49 (universally known as Constantan) is manufactured under controlled conditions from electrolytic copper and pure nickel. Cuprothal® 49 has a number of special characteristics – some electrical, some mechanical – which

Nickel-iron alloys

NICKEL-IRON (NiFe) ALLOYS Nickel-iron (NiFe) alloys for up to 600°C (1110°F): Nifethal® 70 and Nifethal® 52 are alloys with low resistivity and high temperature coefficient of resistance. The positive temperature coefficient allows heating elements to reduce power as temperature
