Ferritic stainless steel with aluminum. Available as wire. Used mainly for electrical elements in both industrial and domestic applications. Industrial applications vary from small laboratory kilns to heavy-duty heat-treatment furnaces under all types of atmospheres. "Fecralloy"** an Fe-Cr-Al steel containing "yttrium" is a versatile alloy and is suitable for use over a wide range up to 1300°C. The "yttrium" is the key to its longer high temperature life, having greater oxidation resistance and form stability over other resistance alloys. **"Fecralloy" is the registered trademark of the UK Atomic Energy Authority (Now AEA Technology, Harwell).
