Wide Alloy Strips for Heating Elements
Wide strips for industrial heating element manufacturing
About Heating Strips
Our heating resistance strips are wider than flat wires, designed for heavy-duty industrial heating element manufacturing. The wider cross-section allows for lower-resistance elements that can handle higher power loads, making them ideal for large-scale industrial furnaces, kilns, and commercial heating systems.
Available in NiCr (nickel-chromium) and FeCrAl (iron-chromium-aluminum) alloy families. Standard dimensions cover width 5.0–300mm and thickness 0.05–4.0mm. Custom slit widths and lengths available to match your production requirements.
Choosing an alloy: NiCr strips (such as Cr20Ni80 and Cr30Ni70) are essentially non-magnetic, retain high mechanical strength at temperature, and resist oxidation through a protective chromium-oxide surface layer, suiting continuous service up to about 1200°C (higher-nickel grades to 1250°C). FeCrAl strips (such as 0Cr21Al6Nb and 0Cr24Al6RE) operate at higher temperatures up to 1400°C, carry higher resistivity, and form a protective aluminum-oxide layer; being nickel-free they are more economical, and their ferritic structure makes them magnetic.
Surface and form: Strips are available in three surface conditions — bright strip, acid-pickled strip and oxidation strip — to suit different fabrication and appearance needs, with slit or rolled edges. The material can be formed into ribbon, meander (zigzag) or wound heating elements and is supplied in coils.
Each strip is precision rolled with tight thickness and width tolerances, clean surface finish, and consistent alloy composition throughout the cross-section.
