Kanthal AF Resistance Heating Wire and Resistance Wire

Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter of Resistance heating wire and resistance wire

Look for KANTHAL AF Resistance heating wire and resistance wire at best price across industry

Kanthal AF is a ferritic iron-chromium-aluminium alloy (FeCrAl alloy) for use at temperatures up to 1300°C (2370°F). The alloy is characterized by excellent oxidation resistance and very good form stability resulting in long element life.

Kanthal AF is typically used in electrical heating elements in industrial furnaces and home appliances.

Example of applications in the appliance industry are in open mica elements for toasters, hair dryers, in meander shaped elements for fan heaters and as open coil elements on fibre insulating material in ceramic glass top heaters in ranges, in ceramic heaters for boiling plates, coils on molded ceramic fibre for cooking plates with ceramic hobs, in suspended coil elements for fan heaters, in suspended straight wire elements for radiators, convection heaters, in porcupine elements for hot air guns, radiators, tumble dryers.

Grand Metal Corporation carries a variety of Kanthal Brand product and supply at reasonable cost.
