White goods

White goods are household ammenities used which are typically larger than simply appliances. These are higher powered and typically use our material for resistive heating. The Kanthal® offering is commonly found in white goods for: Refrigerators Dishwashers Washing machines home heating

Industrial ceramics

While ceramics can be thought of as decorative tableware, there are many functional applications that can be found using ceramics. Many different industries seek out this material because of its thermal, electrical, and even optical properties. The Kanthal® offering supports the industrial

Consumer ceramics

The consumer ceramics application can range from small to large across many different diciplines. We supply material from pottery kilns to casting furnaces and everything in between. We have supported many different applications with both the Kanthal® and Nikrothal® grade alloys. For

Electric Vehicle Battery Production

Electric vehicles require many battery packs in order to run long distances. One important component of these batteries in current technology is the cathode material which must be produced at high temperatures. As with all industrial high-temperature production processes, the challenge for

Lithium-ion battery production

The production of cathode material requires temperatures of around 800 to 1,000 degrees Celsius in the calcination process. Also, the manufacturing process has to be designed and controlled to ensure exceptionally high purity levels in the cathode materials. As with all industrial

Rolling furnace

Secondary aluminium processing requires further forming of hot material. This can include pressing or shaping to get the desired size. In order to keep the material in a formable shape, it is important to remain at high temperatures throughout the process. The Kanthal portfolio has been in

Secondary Aluminium

Secondary aluminium is essential in driving sustainability and efficiency within the aluminium industry. This process involves the recycling and further processing of aluminium scrap or waste into valuable products, reducing the need for primary aluminium production and significantly lowering

Preheating

Preheating is the process of bringing material up to a certain temperature before further processing. This can be done to remove water in the material (aluminum processing) or to prevent large temperature gradients between the furnace and material. The main purpose for pre-heating parts used

Laboratory furnace

The Kanthal program includes several products used in small laboratories and many times seen in dental sintering furnaces. For smaller batch furnaces used in laboratories, the heat treatment typically involves sintering or enameling material. ​Earlier dental furnaces used large diameter (Ø54mm)

Heat treatment of automotive components

Electrical heating elements and other heating technology products for many types of heat treatment processes for steel, aluminium and other metallic materials.
