New furnace rollers made from Kanthal APMT will outlast rollers made from conventional materials by more than four times. Even in temperatures as high as 1250°C (2280°F), rollers made from Kanthal APMT remain straight and rigid, enabling steel mills to boost productivity, increase quality and save on maintenance and spare parts storage.

Longer service life compared to conventional materials

Furnace rollers made from Kanthal APMT provide considerably longer service life and reduced maintenance compared to furnace rollers made from conventional materials such as nickel-chromium (NiCr) alloys and ceramic materials. This is due to the material's excellent creep rupture strength at high temperatures. Furnace rollers made from Kanthal APMT are also characterized by a very smooth surface which ensures a consistently high-quality finish of the manufactured products
