Iron Chrome Aluminum FeCrAl resistance alloys are high-resistance materials typically used in applications with maximum operating temperatures up to 1,400°C.
Iron Chrome Aluminum FeCrAl resistance alloys are high-resistance materials typically used in applications with maximum operating temperatures up to 1,400°C.
Iron Chrome Aluminum resistance alloys are known to have higher surface loading capability, higher resistivity and lower density than Nickel Chrome NiCr alternatives which can translate to less material in application and weight savings. The higher maximum operating temperatures of FeCrAl alloys can also lead to longer element life. Iron Chrome Aluminum alloys form a light grey Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) at temperatures above 1,000°C (1,832°F) which increases corrosion resistance as well as acts as an electrical insulator. The oxide formation is considered self-insulating and protects against short circuiting in the event of metal to metal contact. Iron Chrome Aluminum alloys have lower mechanical strength when compared to Nickel Chrome materials as well as lower creep strength.
Hyndman Industrial Products offers a variety of Iron Chrome Aluminum alloys and keeps the most common in inventory as furnace FeCrAl resistance heating wire. The most of high temperature electric furnace is used FeCrAl heating wire for heater.
The FeCrAl heating wire Primarily used for industrial furnaces, kilns, and other equipment with the highest continuous operating temperatures such as heat treating, ceramics, glass, steel, aluminum, and the electronics industries. FeCrAl resistance Alloy is less susceptible to distortion, growth, and increase in resistance when heated than other alloys of similar composition. While quite resistant to sulfur corrosion, FeCrAl resistance wire is not recommended for use in reducing atmospheres other than dry hydrogen.
