Fechral Tape

Fechral tape is a versatile product with numerous applications, especially in situations where high temperatures and high current are involved. It finds use in various fields, including industrial production, construction, railway transport, domestic water and air heaters, and many other devices. Here are some of the key characteristics and advantages of Fechral tape:

• High Specific Electrical Resistance: Fechral tape exhibits an elevated specific electrical resistance, typically in the range of 1.2 – 1.3 μΩ×mm2/m. This property makes it suitable for applications where electrical resistance is crucial.
• High Melting Point: Fechral tape has an elevated melting point, approximately 1500°C. This high melting point allows it to withstand high temperatures without losing its structural integrity.
• High Yield Strength: Fechral tape possesses high yield strength, enabling its use even with a minimal cross-section. This is advantageous in applications where space constraints are a concern.
• Low Density: The alloy has a relatively low density of about 7.2 g/cm³, which translates to a reduction in the overall weight of products made from Fechral tape, making it lightweight.

The composition of Fechral alloy primarily consists of iron (ferrum), chromium, and aluminum, with iron being the predominant component, making up around 70-80% of the alloy. Small amounts of silicon and manganese additives are also present in the alloy, typically less than 1%. Different compositions of these components can result in variations in the properties of Fechral alloys.

One of the standout features of Fechral tape is its high resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in various environments, including those with grey, carbon, or argon-containing atmospheres, as well as in air and vacuum conditions.

Additionally, Fechral tape offers a cost-effective alternative to nichrome, delivering similar performance while being significantly more affordable, making it an attractive choice for many applications.

Applications of Fechral tape are diverse and include its use in resistors that convert electrical current into thermal energy, railway equipment such as electric trains and braking systems, and in cargo crane resistor blocks that regulate motor starting to ensure smooth and controlled operation.
