Kanthal Wires with the rounded pliers can create some amazing wire art that can heat up and create a glow. Warning heated kanthal wires can burn, do not touch wires after it has been heated with an electronic device.
Kanthal A1 is most typically used in heating elements in large-scale industrial applications such as industrial furnaces (commonly found in the glass, ceramics, electronics, and steel industries). Its high resistivity and ability to withstand elements without oxidation, even in sulfuric and hot atmospheres, makes Kanthal A1 a popular choice when dealing with large-scale heating elements. Kanthal A1 wire also has a higher wet corrosion resistance and a higher hot and creep strength than Kanthal D, making it a popular choice for large-scale industrial applications.
