Term	Definition
Kanthal	Kanthal is the name of a company AND the name of a special alloy of iron, chromium (20-30 %) and aluminium (4-7.5 %). Kanthal, the alloy, was developed by Hans von Kantzow in Hallstahammar, Sweden, it\'s name being derived from Kantzow and Hallstahammar. The alloy is used in heating elements and is known for its ability to withstand fairly high temperatures with great electric resistance. Ordinary Kanthal has a melting point of 1200 °C, and special grades have a melting point as high as 1425°C, both of which are too low for sintering of zirconia. Kanthal is also the largest maker of molybdenum disilicide heating elements, which are capable of sintering zirconia, but have the adverse affect of discoloring the zirconia in the course of sintering.
