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.

At its wire hot rolling mill in Hallstahammar, Sweden, Kanthal’s electric walking beam furnace provides clean, efficient and reliable heating.

Electric heating has transformed the furnaces of a venerable European producer of engineering steel.

Even after more than 25 years of operation, Kanthal’s pit furnace is clean, quiet and offers excellent temperature precision – thanks to its use of electric heating.
