Iron-Chromium-Aluminum Alloy Wires

0Cr21Al6Nb resistance wire

Features:
0Cr21Al6Nb is a ferritic iron-chromium-aluminum alloy (FeCrAl alloy) that can be used at temperatures up to 1350°C. The alloy is characterized by high resistivity and very good oxidation resistance.
0Cr21Al6Nb is most commonly used as heating elements in large industrial applications, such as industrial furnaces (commonly found in the glass, ceramic, electronics, and steel industries). Its high resistivity and ability to withstand elements without oxidation, even in sulphuric acid and hot atmospheres, make the 0Cr21Al6Nb a popular choice for handling large heating elements.
0Cr21Al6Nb Resistance Wire is also known as Kanthal A-1, Aluchrom O, Alchrome 875, Alloy 875, Icralloy 25, Resistohm 145, Alferon 25, MWS-875, Stablohm 875 etc.
