Kanthal APMT is an advanced powder-metallurgical, dispersion-strengthened FeCrAlMo alloy, which is optimized for oxidation resistance up to 1300°C (2372°F) and continuous operation as a construction material at temperatures up to 1250°C (~2300°F). The alloy is now introduced in a wide range of product forms, which opens up possibilities for components designed for enhanced processing temperatures and improved energy efficiency in a variety of high-temperature processes where oxidation or high-temperature corrosion limits component life.
The unique combination of properties makes APMT a problem solver and a facilitator. APMT features the spontaneous formation of an Al2O3 surface layer during operation, which provides a dense, adherent and self-healing protection against destructive corrosion and oxidation at very high temperatures. The alloy also shows excellent form stability, exceeding that of Ni-based alloys at higher temperatures due to a unique powder-metallurgical production process.
