Alkrothal 14 (Resistance heating wire and resistance wire) Alkrothal 14 is a ferritic ironchromiumaluminium alloy (FeCrAl alloy) with high resistivity suitable for use at temperatures up to 1100°C (2010°F). Alkrothal 14 is typically used for electrical resistance wire for applications such as heating cables.
