FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between Kanthal A1 and D wire?
A: Kanthal D is for use at temperatures up to 1300°C (2370°F). This type of Kanthal wire does not withstand sulfuric corrosion as well as Kanthal A1. Kanthal D wire is often found in home appliances such as dishwashers, ceramics for panel heaters, and laundry dryers.
Q: What is kanthal A1 used for?
A: Typical applications for Kanthal ® A-1 are electrical heating elements in high-temperature furnaces for heat treatment, ceramics, glass, steel, and electronics industries. Customers in the United States can now purchase Kanthal® A-1 online.
Q: What is Kanthal wire made of?
A: Kanthal wire is a ferritic iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloy. It does not easily rust or oxidize in industrial applications and has excellent resistance to corrosive elements.
Q: What is the difference between nichrome and Kanthal wire?
A: Kanthal wire also lasts 2 to 4 times longer than Nichrome wire due to its superior oxidation properties and resistance to sulfuric environments. Kanthal A1 is for use at temperatures up to 1400°C (2550°F). This type of Kanthal is the best choice of resistance wire for large industrial applications.
