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.

Green steel is hotter than ever. But while regulatory support and increased availability of clean energy will be needed to speed up the transition to carbon-neutral steel production, changes can be made to reduce climate impact – even in the short term. So says Åsa Ekdahl, Head of Environment and Climate Change at World Steel Association.

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.

Join us on a journey from the 1930s and into the future to discover how electric heating and resistance materials have changed – and will continue to change – the way we live.

For heating steel ingots, fiber insulation and electric heating combine to give good temperature control and little energy loss at Kanthal’s steel plant in Hallstahammar, Sweden.
