4 Kanthal Appliance Alloys Handbook
1. Resistance Heating Alloys
NiFe
Up to 600 °C 1110 °F:
NIFETHAL 70 and 52
are alloys with low resistivity and high
temperature coefficient of resistance. The
positive temperature coefficient allows
heating elements to reduce power as
temperature increases. Typical applications
are in low temperature tubular elements with
self regulating features.
The resistance heating alloys can be
divided into two main groups.
The FeCrAl (KANTHAL) and the NiCr
(NIKROTHAL) based alloys. For lower
temperature applications CuNi and NiFe
based alloys are also used. The different
alloys are described below as well as a
comparison of some of the properties of the
KANTHAL and the NIKROTHAL alloys.
