0Cr27Al7Mo2 Wire Kanthal APM Alternative
Kanthal APM Alternative
0Cr27Al7Mo2 is a Mo-strengthened FeCrAl resistance wire built for 1400°C industrial heat—it’s a spot-on, cheaper swap for Kanthal APM. Killer oxidation resistance, high-temp strength, and rock-solid long-term stability. We do custom and wholesale.
- Model: CV-0Cr27Al7Mo2

- Main Composition: Fe: Bal., Cr ≈27%, Al ≈7%, Mo (trace)
- Max Temp: ≤ 1400°C

0Cr27Al7Mo2 is a molybdenum (Mo)-strengthened FeCrAl (iron-chrome-aluminum) resistance wire. It packs high chromium (≈27%) and high aluminum (≈7%), plus Mo to crank up high-temp strength, oxidation resistance, and corrosion fight.
It hits the peak for Chinese FeCrAl in oxidation resistance, high-heat strength, creep resistance, and staying put dimension-wise—super close to Kanthal APM performance.
This is a top-shelf FeCrAl grade that handles up to 1400°C, made for brutal high-temp industrial gigs.
Standout Features of 0Cr27Al7Mo2 Ultra-High-Temp Alloy
0Cr27Al7Mo2 is the most loaded-up alloy in the FeCrAl crew, getting its power from multi-element teamwork.
It’s the heaviest-alloyed in FeCrAl: 27% Cr, 7% Al, and molybdenum (Mo)—triple boost.
- Super tough against oxidation—runs steady long-term at 1300°C and handles quick hits to 1400°C.
- Mo ramps up high-temp strength and creep resistance big time—elements barely sag or warp when hot.
- Resistance and structure are dialed to max—perfect for tough stuff like premium ceramic sintering, single crystal growth, and aerospace heat treating.
- Heads up on downsides: All that alloying makes it brittler cold (especially after chilling long in 600–900°C where brittle phases pop up), and it’s spendy with longer lead times.
0Cr27Al7Mo2 is built for 1400°C long-haul runs in FeCrAl.

FAQs | 0Cr27Al7Mo2 Basics
Can it fully replace Kanthal APM?
Super close in most 1400°C air jobs, but APM edges out on insane lifespan and stability.
What’s Mo for?
Mo cranks high-temp strength, creep resistance, and corrosion fight.
Better than 0Cr21Al6Nb how?
Higher Cr, Al, and Mo—handles hotter and tougher spots.
Good for big heating elements?
Yeah—Mo makes large ones way better at fighting sag.
Built for continuous heavy loads?
Totally—kills it in high-load non-stop runs.
Okay in corrosive air?
Better than regular FeCrAl at high-temp corrosion, but check your specific setup.
Custom and bulk?
You bet—custom sizes, wholesale, OEM/ODM ready.
