Kanthal, is an alloy of mainly iron and chromium (20 30 %), aluminium (4 7,5 %).Kanthal was developed by Hans von Kantzow in Hallstahammar. In 1931 the company Kanthal AB was started. The name "Kanthal" is composed of Kantzow and Hallstahammar. The alloy is known for its ability to withstand high temperatures and having great electric resistance. As such, it is frequently used in heating elements.
Kanthal sell the so-called "Kanthal Super" molybdenum disilicide MoSi2 elements as well for very high temperatures up to 1850 C.
Ordinary Kanthal has a melting point of 1200 C. Speical grades has a melting point as high as 1425 C. [1]
Kanthal AB is now part of the Sandvik AB company.
