FeCrAl Alloy The Top-Notch Alloy for High-Temperature Heating Applications

Our FeCrAl alloy is the gold standard for manufacturers needing a reliable, high-performance material for heating applications in extreme environments. Composed of iron, 20-30% chromium, and 4-6% aluminum, this alloy is built to withstand blistering temperatures while delivering efficiency and durability at a price that makes sense.

What makes FeCrAl stand out? Its ability to operate at temperatures up to 1400°C is a game-changer. The alloy forms a tough aluminum oxide layer that protects against oxidation, ensuring long-term performance in industrial furnaces, kilns, and household appliances like toasters and ovens. With a high resistivity of 1.2-1.5 µΩ·m and a low temperature coefficient of resistance, it’s perfect for heating elements that need to maintain consistent performance under intense heat. Its creep resistance also means it holds its shape under thermal stress, making it a go-to for heavy-duty applications.

The alloy’s mechanical properties are solid, with a tensile strength of 600-800 MPa and hardness of 200-260 HV, giving it the toughness needed for high-stress environments. While its elongation (15-25%) is slightly lower than NiCr alloys, it’s still weldable and can be formed into wires, strips, or custom components, though machining requires specialized tools due to its hardness. Compared to NiCr, FeCrAl is more cost-effective because of its lower nickel content, offering similar high-temperature performance without the premium price tag.

The high-temperature alloy market is growing at a steady 5-6% CAGR, driven by demand in industrial manufacturing, aerospace, and ceramics. With industries pushing for energy-efficient heating systems and durable components, FeCrAl’s ability to handle extreme temperatures and resist oxidation makes it a top pick. Unlike CuNi44, which maxes out at 600°C, FeCrAl thrives in applications requiring sustained high heat, like ceramic kilns or aerospace furnace parts.

We produce our FeCrAl alloy with strict quality controls to ensure consistent resistivity, strength, and surface quality, making it ready for OEM applications. We’re also exploring sustainable practices, like recycling, to keep our process eco-friendly. While raw material prices can fluctuate, FeCrAl’s long lifespan and low maintenance costs make it a budget-friendly choice for high-performance heating systems.

In short, our FeCrAl alloy is your go-to for high-temperature heating applications. Whether you’re building industrial furnaces, appliance heating elements, or aerospace components, it delivers the heat resistance, efficiency, and durability you need to get the job done right.
