Sandvik Thermal Process to rebrand its product portfolio as Kanthal® as of January 1, 2021. This change aims to further strengthen our product offer, customer service, brand and technology. Kanthal® is a world leading brand for products and services in industrial heating technology and resistance materials.

On January 1, 2018 Kanthal acquired privately owned Custom Electric Manufacturing Co., headquartered in Wixom, Michigan, USA. The company is a leading manufacturer of original equipment and replacement heating elements in North America.

After making a number of custom-made modifications to its Globar^® SiC heating elements, Kanthal was able to help Toyota Motor Manufacturing Poland increase the lifespan of its elements to an average of two years from seven months.

Compared with conventional air heaters, the Kanthal® Flow Heater range can heat air and process gases to higher temperatures with greater accuracy. In order to deliver these benefits to a wider range of industries and applications, a new 60 kW model has been launched.

The aluminum industry is in a bind. Global demand shows no sign of slowing, yet there is a growing need to reduce emissions in its carbon-intensive production processes. A switch from gas burners to electrification could be part of the answer.

For additive manufacturing to take the next step in the world of metal parts, post-process heat treatment is the key to quality.

Finding the right combination of materials and heat treatment can go a long way toward advancing the science of additive manufacturing.

The choice of heating element has a significant impact on the overall energy efficiency of a furnace, but it is not the only factor. In fact, if other considerations are not taken into account, the savings achieved from an energy-efficient element can quickly disappear.

Kanthal acquires privately owned Thermaltek Inc., headquartered in North Carolina, USA. The company designs, manufactures, and services high-temperature furnaces and heating elements, specialized for the molten metals, glass and ceramics industries.

The steel and cement industries are striving to reduce their CO2 emissions by converting to fossil-free operations. Efficient electrical heating processes are enablers for this development. The Swedish innovator, NyCast AB, wins the Kanthal^® Award 2019 for their heating innovation that has the potential to contribute to an industrial future without greenhouse gas emissions.

With the help of the latest chatbot technology, Kanthal has taken a new approach to the once drawn-out process in an effort to get you the answers you deserve.

As the world moves toward a more sustainable future, more and more heating processes are making the switch to electric. This is the message from Daniel Burton, business manager, Kanthal^® Services, in his presentation at CastExpo 2019.

It’s the International Women’s Day today. The theme for this year is #BalanceforBetter and calls for gender equality, something that was absolutely outrageous in 1910 when the International Women’s Day was held for the first time. We’ve come a long way since then, but there are still fights to take.

Kanthal is introducing a new chat functionality aiming at opening a new channel of communication with our website visitors.

Congratulations to Bharat Energy Storage Technology (BEST), winner of Kanthal® Award 2018. The Indian start-up company was awarded for their pioneering work in sustainable energy technologies.

Es gibt viele Geheimnisse hinter einer perfekten Pizza, aber Hitze ist definitiv einer der wichtigsten Faktoren. Unter Anwendung einer Elektrobeheizung haben es die Techniker beim schwedischen industriellen Heiztechnologieunternehmen Kanthal geschafft, die Zeit, die benötigt wird, um eine traditionelle neapolitanische Pizza zu backen, von 90 auf 37 Sekunden zu reduzieren.

We are here for you. And we want you to know that we are doing our utmost to safeguard your orders, while protecting our people and operations.

The Swedish Energy Agency has granted a project that will evaluate the potential of replacing gas-fired furnaces with electrically heated furnaces for material heating. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions through better energy efficiency and reduced loss of material.

Als weltweiter Technologieführer für elektrische Heizsysteme und Hochtemperaturanwendungen bietet Kanthal jetzt einen Service für die additive Fertigung von Heizelementen und heiztechnischen Bauteilen an, der traditionelle Fertigungsmethoden in Frage stellt. Mit der neuen, speziell für den 3-D-Druck entwickelten Eisen-Chrom-Aluminium (FeCrAl)-Legierung Kanthal^® AM100 bietet Kanthal^® Additive Manufacturing eine für die Heizungsbranche revolutionäre Lösung an.

Opening up new possibilities, Kanthal^® part of the Sandvik Group is introducing Thermothal^® KM – a new alloy for Mineral Insulated Cable (MIC) thermocouple manufacturers.

With the capacity for full-scale industrial heat testing, Kanthal’s state-of-the-art Pilot Plant in Hallstahammar, Sweden, is the only testing site of its kind in the world. Coupled with three other test centers around the world, Kanthal Services’ two new offerings, Process Labs and Pilot Plant, have all the necessary equipment and resources to test new process ideas, regardless of the scope.

Kanthal^® launches Heliothal™ LT, an electric ladle heater that allows aluminum and steel producers and foundries to benefit from the advantages of heating with electricity instead of fossil fuels.

There’s this girl. Her name is Xin and she is one of a kind. Actually, if you ask Tong Wu from Shenzhen, the Silicon Valley of China, she is the most amazing person he’s ever met. This summer, he had booked a restaurant in Shenzhen to propose to her. He had a very special ring in mind.

Kanthal’s Globar^® SiC (silicon carbide) heating elements have been specifically engineered for high-tech applications with tough conditions, such as cathode material production. The substrate’s unique microstructure makes it more reliable and ensures consistency in quality.
