Sandvik KANTHAL Kanthal APM Resistance Strip
Subcategory: Aluminum Alloy; Iron Base
Material Notes: KANTHAL APM is an advanced powder metallurgical, dispersion strengthened, ferritic FeCrAl alloy which is used at wire temperatures up to 1425°C (2595°F). KANTHAL APM has good hot strength, giving good form stability of the heating elements with less need for element support. It has low tendency to ageing, low resistance change and long element life. KANTHAL APM has an excellent surface oxide, which gives good protection in corrosive atmospheres as well as in atmospheres with high carbon potential, and no scaling. The combination of excellent oxidation properties and formstability makes the alloy unique. Typical applications for KANTHAL APM are in furnaces for firing of high temperature ceramics, in high temperature heat treatment furnaces, in high temperature laboratory furnaces, in high temperature furnaces in the electronic industries, and in diffusion furnaces.
