Nickel Alloy Metal Mesh
FeCrAl alloy wire mesh is a ferritic iron-chromium-aluminium (FeCrAl) alloy used primarily in electrical resistance heating elements, and other high-temperature settings, up to 2370°F. In addition to other beneficial properties, FeCrA wire cloth offers both excellent oxidation resistance and high resistivity. It is often chosen over Nichrome 80/20 , one of the oldest resistance heating alloys, when higher temperature use, longer life, and higher resistivity levels are required (not to mention its cheaper cost!).

Some characteristics of FeCrAl alloy wire cloth which dictate its use are:
FeCrAl alloy wire cloth is principally used in high-temperature appliances and electronics given its low density, high resistivity, and superior high-temperature resistivity.
