Kanthal is a world-leading brand for products and services in the area of industrial heating technology and resistance materials.

Kanthal offers a wide range of highly engineered products and services in the area of industrial heating technology and resistance materials.

There are two main types of electric resistance alloys. Nickel-chromium (e.g. 80 Ni, 20 Cr) called Nikrothal was developed around the beginning of the 20th cen-tury and was soon used as heating element material in industrial furnaces as well as in electric household appliances.

Features:

• Higher maximum temperature of 1425°C compared to 1250°C for Nikrothal
• Up to four times longer life
• Higher surface load
• Higher resistivity
• Lower density
• No spalling oxide, which may contaminate the goods and the furnace and also cause short circuit or failure of elements and gas burners

Product Details:

Kanthal APM is an advanced powder-metallurgical, dispersion-strengthened, ferritic iron-chromium-aluminium alloy (FeCrAl alloy) for use at temperatures up to 1425°C (2600°F). The alloy is characterized by exceptionally good form stability and oxidation resistance.

Kanthal APM has low tendency to ageing and low resistance change. It has excellent surface oxide properties, which gives good protection in corrosive atmospheres as well as in atmospheres with high carbon potential, and no scaling.

The unique combination of excellent oxidation properties and form stability contributes to long element service life. The alloy''s superior form stability reduces the amount of element support.

Typical applications for Kanthal APM are in high-temperature furnaces for firing of ceramics, heat treatment, in laboratory furnaces, in furnaces for electronic industries and in diffusion furnaces.

Chemical composition Mechanical properties
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE

Ultimate tensile strength - deformation rate 6.2 x 10-2/min

CREEP STRENGTH - 1% ELONGATION IN 1000 H
CREEP STRENGTH - 0.1% ELONGATION IN 1000 H CREEP RUPTURE STRENGTH

The data in the tables apply to material with fine grain structure in the temperature range from 800°C to 900°C,
and to material with coarse grain structure in the temperature range from 1100°C to 1400°C.
In the delivery state KANTHAL APM always has a fine grain structure. After use for a certain period of time , the grain size becomes coarse.

Product Details:

Kanthal D is a ferritic iron-chromium-aluminium alloy (FeCrAl alloy) for use at temperatures up to 1300°C (2370°F). The alloy is characterized by high resistivity and good oxidation resistance.

Kanthal® D is used in home appliances and industrial furnaces. Typical applications in home appliances include metal sheathed tubular elements for dishwashers, elements embedded in ceramics for panel heaters, cartridge elements in metal dies, heating cables and rope heaters in defrosting and deicing elements, mica elements used in irons, quartz tube heaters for space heating, industrial infrared dryers, in coils on molded ceramic fibre for boiling plates with ceramic hobs, in bead insulated coils for panel heaters, in suspended coil elements for air heaters in laundry dryers.

In industrial applications Kanthal D is used in, for example, terminals to furnace elements, porcupine elements for air heating, and in furnace heating elements.
