As the world continues to grapple with a severe global chip shortage, the pressure on semiconductor manufacturers and their suppliers remains high. For Shimazu Kinzoku, being able to deliver reliable heating solutions to the industry has never been more essential.

All that glitters is not necessarily gold – but it might be a recyclable alloy. This rings especially true at Kanthal’s plant in Hallstahammar, where reused scrap metal is successfully being used to reduce the need for raw materials in the production process.

Kanthal® AF Tubes require minimal maintenance, are extremely efficient and deliver excellent power output, especially when combined with Tubothal® heating elements.

Based in Pune, India, Malhotra Engineers makes sintering furnaces for powder metallurgy plants, as well as secondary process furnaces, like steam and heat treatment furnaces. Since the 1990s, the company has exclusively used heating wires supplied by Kanthal, but the relationship between Kanthal and its founder, Ravi P. Malhotra stretches back even further.

Sharp increases in the price of nickel and uncertainty about future supply mean that right now is the perfect opportunity for furnace builders and end-users to explore alternatives to nickel-chromium tubes. Kanthal® APM and Kanthal® APMT for example, can deliver a range of additional benefits.

Through its participation in the EU-funded Nextower project, Kanthal and Sandvik Materials Technology have been able to create innovative new materials and components, which are now being used in the development of the next generation of concentrated solar power (CSP) tower systems.

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.

Where would the world be today without electric heating technology? To celebrate its 90-year anniversary, Swedish heating technology provider Kanthal has produced a documentary short film that puts the spotlight on how electric resistance materials and heating solutions have helped shape modern society.

Sustainability is higher up the global agenda than ever, and nowhere more so than in the United States, where President Joe Biden seeks to reduce nationwide greenhouse gas emissions to less than half the 2005 levels by 2030. Electrification will be key to this evolution in the steel industry.

The Höganäs-owned company Digital Metal combines the benefits of binder jetting technology with Höganäs’s expertise in metal powders and sintering processes to create a world-class system for 3D metal printing with exceptional accuracy and repeatability.

Demand for heating elements is on the rise as more and more steel producers realize the benefits of electric heating. Kanthal has the expertise and product range to meet the needs of today as well as the demands of tomorrow.
