Iron-Chromium-Aluminum Alloy Wires

0Cr25Al5 heating resistance wires

Features:
0Cr25Al5 (DIN W.Nr. 1.4765) has significant advantages over nickel-chromium alloys in terms of maximum operating temperature, resistivity, cost, and oxidation resistance as a representative of Fe-Cr-Al heating alloys. The maximum operating temperature of 0Cr25Al5 can reach 1300℃. This makes it suitable for higher temperature heating application scenarios. Room temperature resistivity of 0Cr25Al5 is approximately 1.42 μΩ·m. Higher resistivity means shorter heating elements can be used for the same power, saving material. Aluminum content forms a dense Al₂O₃ (aluminum oxide) protective layer at high temperatures, which is more stable than the Cr₂O₃ layer of nickel-chromium alloys. During long-term use at 1200℃, oxidation rate is lower and service life is longer. Material cost is 50-70% lower than nickel-chromium alloys, offering significant economic advantages in mass production. Density is about 15% lower than Cr20Ni80. Lighter weight at the same volume helps reduce overall equipment weight. Small temperature coefficient of resistance, with relatively stable resistance variation in the high-temperature operating range, beneficial for stable heating power control.
0Cr25Al5 Resistance Wire is also known as Resistohm 142, FCHW-1 / FCHR-1, FeCrAl Ⅱ B, CrAl 25/5, FRCA33, GFC142 / GFC142W, X27Ю5T etc.
