The Crazy Wire Company are best known and long established as Europe’s preferred suppliers of top quality FeCrAl resistance ribbon wire and we also have enormous stock levels at all times as we use this wire to weave our mesh products.

Introducing our high-quality FeCrAl resistance ribbon wire, a versatile and essential component for various electrical heating applications. A KA1 ribbon wire with a precision specification of 0.5mm x 0.05mm is known for its outstanding conductivity and high temperature resistance.

Ribbon wires made from FeCrAl are excellent for a wide variety of applications. Heating elements for household appliances, such as ovens, toasters, and stovetops, are often manufactured from this material. As a result of its exceptional heat resistance and durability, it provides long-lasting performance in these everyday applications.

As a result of its broad applications in industrial settings, ribbon wire is an integral part of the design of industrial furnaces, kilns, and heat treatment equipment. Due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining electrical conductivity, it is a preferred choice for professionals in the heating and metallurgy industries.

Specification of this FeCrAl Resistance Ribbon Wire:

  • Diameter – 0.5mm x 0.05mm
  • Ohms/ft – 56.33

We also offer more of this KA1 wire too if required.

FAQs About This Wire

Does FeCrAl Resistance Ribbon Wire Require Any Special Tools For Manipulation?

No, FeCrAl resistance ribbon wire generally does not require any special tools for manipulation. The material can be easily cut and shaped with common tools like scissors and wire cutters. In more sophisticated projects or when precision is critical, you may find tools such as pliers and mandrels useful for bending and shaping the wire. Additionally, if you intend to connect the wire to other components in your design, soldering or welding equipment may be required.

How Does FeCrAl Resistance Ribbon Wire Compare To Nichrome Wire?

  1. Composition: FeCrAl resistance ribbon wire is composed of iron, chromium, and aluminum, while nichrome wire consists of nickel and chromium. This composition difference affects their properties.
  2. Temperature Resistance: FeCrAl ribbon wire typically has a higher maximum operating temperature compared to nichrome wire. FeCrAl can withstand temperatures up to around 1400°C (2550°F), while nichrome wire is usually limited to temperatures around 1200°C (2190°F).
  3. Oxidation Resistance: FeCrAl resistance ribbon wire is known for its excellent oxidation resistance, making it a good choice for high-temperature applications where it’s exposed to air. Nichrome wire is also resistant to oxidation but may not perform as well at extremely high temperatures.
  4. Price: Nichrome wire is often more affordable than FeCrAl ribbon wire, which can make it a cost-effective option for some applications.
  5. Durability: KA1 ribbon wire tends to be more durable and longer-lasting, particularly at higher temperatures, due to its superior oxidation resistance.
  6. Electrical Resistivity: The electrical resistivity of nichrome wire is generally lower than that of FeCrAl resistance ribbon wire, which can affect the wire’s electrical properties and performance in specific applications.
