Kanthal A-1 FeCrAl Alloy Wire Mesh is a ferritic iron chromium aluminum (FeCrAl) alloy primarily used in electrical resistance heating elements and other high temperature settings up to 2550°F. In addition to other beneficial properties, Kanthal A-1 wire cloth has both excellent oxidation resistance and high resistivity. It is often chosen over Nichrome V 80/20 (Chromel® A), one of the oldest resistance heating alloys, when higher temperature use, longer life, and higher resistivity levels are required. The use of Kanthal A-1 FeCrAl alloy wire cloth are:
