High-chromium alloy – new burner`s generation material
High-chromium alloy - new burner's generation material
The material of the future for PellasX burners is based on a group of high-chromium alloys with heat-resistant and incandescent resistant properties.
A high-chromium alloy with a chromium content from 24% to 32%, which in the form of a compound with carbon and silicon has excellent corrosion resistance, including high temperature corrosion.
The burner combustion chamber made of this material withstands high temperature loads much longer than heat-resistant steel, mainly due to its casting in the mold.
1.4841 heat-resistant steel has an average chromium content of 25% and nickel 20%. It is mainly corrosion resistant due to chrome.
High-chromium alloy is characterized by a chromium content of 25%, while nickel is only 4-5%, silicon 1.5%, and manganese and moblibdenum 1% (molybdenum increases resistance to pitting corrosion, nickel improves its plasticity).
The processing of heat-resistant steel, i.e. welding and bending, changes its structure and creates corrosion centers. The casting of the body made of high-chromium heat-resistant and incandescent-resistant alloy is not subjected to any additional plastic works or welding, which affects its resistance to thermal overloads and to its lifespan.

Burners with InCroX material
At the moment, the elements of combustion chambers and grates using High-chromium alloy have REVO MICRO 16 kW, REVO MINI 26 kW as well as M 350 kW and M 500 kW burners.
Soon they will be joined by M MICRO 16 kW, MINI 26 kW and 35 kW.
