Electrical resistance materials

Our in-house team’s matchless expertise and experience ensure we’re right at the heart of the latest advances in alloy development and performance.

Alloys at work

From industrial furnaces to household goods like water heaters and toasters, alloys of the RESISTOHM® and BRIGHTRAY® SERIES of alloys are used for wire, ribbon and strip heating elements.

INCOLOY® and INCONEL® alloys are used for seam-welded tubing for element sheathing whilst other alloys in the BRIGHTRAY® series are used for starter and braking resistors in locomotives and heavy engineering applications.

Simpler binary alloys like BRIGHTRAY® alloy C and BRIGHTRAY® alloy S are suitable for continuous operation in oxidising, neutral and reducing atmospheres up to 1150 deg C.

The material properties of INCOLOY® alloy 800, INCONEL® alloy 600 and INCONEL® alloy 601 make them effective additions to the electrical resistance alloy series, particularly in conjunction with  furnace furniture constructed in the same material for maximum resistance to the environment.
