This specification covers annealed, drawn or rolled iron-chromium-aluminum alloy shapes used for electrical heating and resistance purposes. This specification contains the requirements for chemical composition, electrical resistance, mechanical properties and temperature-dependent changes in resistance of the alloys.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

1. Scope
