Metallic Heating Elements
 Duralite heating elements are made
in a large range of sizes from a wide range of metallic alloys for
heaters, ovens, and
furnaces used in industrial, commercial, scientific, and medical
equipment.
Heating element materials can be ductile round or strip material
including resistance alloys (nickel chrome, iron-chrome aluminum,
molybdenum, tungsten), stainless, copper, aluminum, and nickel
alloys - both coated and uncoated. Elements are fabricated from
wire sizes smaller than .003 to wire diameters exceeding .410
inch. Coiled diameters range from .020 to 10 inches.

Our trained staff can produce your element
from your print or, if you require, our engineers can use our
proprietary heating
element design software to analyze your heating system requirements
and perform “what-if” scenarios if you need assistance
in element design.
Demanding metallic elements are our specialty. Duralite VariWatt
coiling technology can provide exceptionally accurate parts or
multi-zone heating system within a single element. To

Duralite has extensive experience oxidizing iron-chrome-aluminum
parts. The most common use is for vertically-oriented elements.
By oxidizing iron-chrome-aluminum elements, Duralite can provide
an element that will not short circuit when energized.
In addition, Duralite has a fully-equipped fabrication shop so
we can provide nearly any configuration and termination that
you require, including threaded and welded terminals.
 Bulk Coiled Heating Element Wire
Duralite manufactures bulk coiled heating element wire used in
many high-temperature applications, including air heating,
radiant heating, and electric furnaces. The pre-coiled wire
is supplied tight (close) wound and spooled for easy storage
and use.
Bulk coiled heating wire provides the ability for a user to
produce a variety of element configurations as needed. As long
as the coil diameter is consistent, finished heating elements
can be easily fabricated, adjusting for such factors as: operating
voltage, wattage, and installed (stretch) length.
