Internal parts of instantaneous water heaters require a resistance to high temperatures.
A challenge that Alusi® can meet. Alusi® is a flat carbon steel product coated on both sides with an aluminium-silicon alloy. The coating is composed of 90% aluminium and 10% silicon and is applied by means of a continuous hot dip galvanising process.
Alusi® is particularly suitable for applications requiring high resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. Up to 450°C, the top surface of the Alusi® coating does not alter and its thermal and light reflectivity remains at 80%, which is an important requirement for thermal shielding applications. The presence of silicon allows the coating to be used at temperatures as high as 650°C without flaking.
