  2. Kanthal (alloy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanthal_(alloy)

    Kanthal is the trademark for a family of iron-chromium-aluminium (FeCrAl) alloys used in a wide range of resistance and high-temperature applications. Kanthal FeCrAl alloys consist of mainly iron, chromium (20–30%) and aluminium (4–7.5 %). The first Kanthal FeCrAl alloy was developed by Hans von Kantzow in Hallstahammar, Sweden. The alloys ...

  3. Heating element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

    Fe-Cr-Al resistance heating alloys, also known as Kanthal®, are described by an ASTM standard. [3] Manufacturers may opt to use this class of alloys as opposed to Ni-Cr(Fe) alloys to avoid the typically relatively higher cost of nickel as a raw material compared to aluminum.

  4. List of named alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_named_alloys

    Kanthal (20–30% chromium, 4–7.5% aluminium); used in heating elements, including e-cigarettes Kovar ( nickel , cobalt ) Spiegeleisen ( manganese , carbon , silicon )

  5. Resistance wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_wire

    Kanthal (Alloy 875/815), a family of iron-chromium-aluminium (FeCrAl) alloys, is used in a wide range of high-temperature applications, up to about 1,425 °C (2,597 °F). One difficulty in using nichrome or kanthal wire is that common tin-based electrical solder will not bond with it, so the connections to the electrical power must be made ...

  6. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

    The most common filament material used for electrical infrared heaters is tungsten wire, which is coiled to provide more surface area. Low temperature alternatives for tungsten are carbon, or alloys of iron, chromium, and aluminum (trademark and brand name Kanthal).

  7. Aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

    Aluminium (or aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals, about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air.

  8. Electro-slag remelting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-slag_remelting

    Rendering of electro-slag remelting apparatus and cross-sections. Electroslag remelting (ESR), also known as electro-flux remelting, is a process of remelting and refining steel and other alloys for mission-critical applications in aircraft, thermal power stations, nuclear power plants, military technology and others.

  9. Ferroaluminum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferroaluminum

    Ferroaluminum (FeAl) is a ferroalloy, consisting of iron and aluminium.The metal usually consists of 40% to 60% aluminium. Applications of ferroaluminum include the deoxidation of steel, [1] hardfacing applications, reducing agent, thermite reactions, AlNiCo magnets, and alloying additions to welding wires and fluxes. [2]
