FeCrAl 0Cr21Al6Nb High-Temperature Resistance Wire | Corrosion-Resistant Alloy for Industrial Heating
Description
FeCrAl 0Cr21Al6Nb resistance wire combines exceptional heat resistance (up to 1300°C) with enhanced corrosion protection. Ideal for chemical processing, power generation, and aerospace applications.
Product Overview
FeCrAl 0Cr21Al6Nb resistance wire is a niobium-enhanced iron-chromium-aluminum alloy designed for extreme thermal and corrosive environments. With 21% chromium (Cr), 6% aluminum (Al), and 0.5-1.2% niobium (Nb), this advanced alloy forms a dense, self-healing alumina (Al₂O₃) oxide layer under high temperatures, delivering unmatched resistance to oxidation, sulfidation, and chlorine-induced degradation. The addition of niobium enhances grain stability and creep resistance, enabling prolonged operation at 1300°C in oxidizing atmospheres and up to 1100°C in reducing environments, such as hydrogen-rich or carburizing conditions.
Its optimized electrical resistivity (1.38 μΩ·m at 20°C) ensures consistent performance in industrial heaters, thermocouples, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Compliant with ASTM B603, DIN 17472, and JIS C2530, the alloy’s mechanical properties—including a tensile strength of 650-750 MPa and elongation of ≥18%—support rigorous fabrication into coils, mesh, and precision components. Engineered for global adaptability, FeCrAl 0Cr21Al6Nb meets the demands of Middle Eastern refineries, Southeast Asian electronics plants, and European renewable energy systems, offering superior lifecycle cost efficiency.
