APM ElementsSintered Powder Metal Elements for High-Temperature KilnsLong-Lasting Performance in Extreme ConditionsAPM element wire is a special sintered alloy that Kanthal makes. It resists grain growth at high temperatures. It also has a very high hot strength. This strength helps keep the coils from flattening as easily as Kanthal A1 or similar wire. You can find more technical information from the Kanthal website. This is from their website: Kanthal APM is a special type of alloy made from iron, chromium, and aluminum. It is a powder metallurgical and dispersion-strengthened material. This alloy can be used at wire temperatures as high as 1425°C (2595°F). Kanthal APM has good hot strength, giving good form stability of the heating elements with less need for element support. It has a low tendency to aging, low resistance change, and long element life. Kanthal APM has a great surface oxide. This provides good protection in corrosive environments and in areas with high carbon levels. It also prevents scaling. The combination of excellent oxidation properties and form stability makes the alloy unique. Typical uses for Kanthal APM include furnaces for firing high-temperature ceramics. It is also used in high-temperature heat treatment furnaces. You can find it in high-temperature laboratory furnaces and in electronic industry furnaces. Additionally, it is used in diffusion furnaces. These elements are good for crystalline glaze applications. The same process that helps crystals grow in glazes also causes grain growth in the standard Kanthal A-1 alloy. This alloy is used in electric ceramic pottery kilns. QUAD and APM Elements- Some kiln series - the JH Series and eQuad-Pro Kilns - come standard with Quad Elements. If you order the APM Upgrade the only extra charge is the charge for the APM upgrade.
- On kilns where Quad elements are optional, like the Easy-Fire kilns, you can choose standard elements with the APM upgrade. You can also order the Quad Element Upgrade along with the APM Upgrade. They are two separate upgrade charges.
