Kanthal Metallic Heating System

Kanthal APM and Kanthal APMT iron-chromium-aluminium (FeCrAl) alloys can be used at tube temperatures up to 1250°C (2282°F). They offer several advantages compared to other tube materials such as alumina, silicon carbide and nickel-chromium (NiCr) alloys.

Main characteristics of Kanthal APM and Kanthal APMT FeCrAl alloys

• Excellent form stability
• Excellent corrosion resistance in most atmospheres
• High thermal conductivity
• No scaling and impurities
• Longer tube life

Radiant tubes in Kanthal APM and Kanthal APMT are available from stock in many sizes.

The construction method of Moduthal Heating Modules ensures accurate positioning of the coils and eliminates the distortion or other problems connected to the coventional open coil elements in grooves or on tubes. A fibre-free version of Moduthal heating modules is available for up to 1250°C (2280°F) element temperature.

 

Advantages compared to conventional furnaces:

• Fast and easy to install and replace
• Fully interchangeable
• High surface load
• Superior element support
• Excellent heat distribution
• Long service life

 

Typical application areas:

• Processing of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals
• Pre-heating of steel and non-ferrous metals
• Glass manufacturing
• Wire annealing furnaces
• Crystal growing

Ready-made Metallic Heating Elements made from wire or strip in iron-chromium-aluminium alloys or Nikrothal nickel-chromium alloys for element temperatures between 50-1425°C (120-2600°F).

 

Element type: We can manufacture metallic heating elements to any specifications and with short delivery times.

Metallic heating element alloy:

• Alkrothal FeCrAl alloys are characterized by high resistivity and capability to withstand high surface load. They can be used at maximum element temperature of 1425°C (2600°F).
• The NiCr-based alloys are characterized by very good mechanical properties in the hot state as well as good oxidation and corrosion properties. They are suitable for element temperatures up to 1250°C (2282°F).
• FeCrAl alloys instead of NiCr alloys results in both weight-saving and longer element life, leading to considerable cost savings. Compare weight and cost for FeCrAl alloys with NiCr alloys.
