The 1Cr13Al4 FeCrAl Wire is an iron-chromium-aluminum alloy engineered for corrosion resistance and thermal stability. Chromium, at 13%, forms a protective oxide layer that prevents oxidation and corrosion even under high humidity or oxidizing conditions common in household appliances. Aluminum, at 4%, enhances the oxide layer’s stability and improves the wire’s structural integrity under high-temperature cycling. Iron serves as the core structural material, providing strength, durability, and consistent electrical conductivity. The combination ensures the wire performs reliably in heating elements exposed to both heat and moisture.
