Cold drawn wire from the alloy Cr27AI5Ti used for the resistance elements and heaters. Cr27AI5Ti has excellent resistance to high electrical resistance and low temperature coefficient of electrical resistance (TCER), low TCER and a high strain-sensitivity, good plasticity and excellent heat-resistance.
The alloy has a high maximum working temperature (to 1350°C) and 2-4 times more durable in comparison with the Nichrome at exploitation at high temperatures (1000-1350°C) in oxidation, sulfur and others environments. The alloy exhibits stable TCER that let support the temperature of heater systems. Using Cr27AI5Ti, having less specific gravity and higher specific resistance in compare with Nichrome that let reduce the weight of heating material in 20-30% the same length and diameter of the wire, and also have result more equal heating at the length. Reducing the weight results to cut costs by miniaturizing the lining, fixturing etc.
New technology of producing Cr27AI5Ti provides it homogeneous structure, uniformity of protective oxide layer and high adhesion layer to the surface. In combination with reduction of bases carbon to the level ≤0.03%,is guaranteed the high wire plasticity, the absence inclination to intergranular high temperature corrosion, high creep limit and also oxide resistance, AI203 is gathered on the surface of the alloy serving as good insulator and prevent the corrosion more effective in compare to green rouge (Cr203), was having on the surface of Nichrome.
Fields of application:
Electric heating of the furnaces are for all branches of industry, household appliances etc. Cr27AI5Ti used in high temperature electric furnaces, firing furnaces and fire drying furnaces, different electric heaters. Having enhanced, creep resistance, ductility, (including after long exploitation), stability of the form and increased term of exploitation. Technical information:
Cold-drawn wire from the alloy Cr27AI5Ti is produced in soft thermafly manufactured diameter 0.1-10 mm.
Limiting deflections in diameter of the wire not exceed ± 0.100 mm, and the oval of the wire is not more than half of the field tolerance in diameter.
