Operating life and maximum permissible temperature

When heated, resistance heating alloys form an oxide layer on their surface, which prevents further oxidation of the material. To accomplish this function the oxide layer must be dense and resist the diffusion of gasses. It must also be thin and adhere to the metal under temperature

Stranded resistance heating wire

Recognizing the need for more precisely controlled stranded wire within the heat treatment industry and working closely with our cable customers, Kanthal has developed a range of stranded resistance wires in the well known Nikrothal®, Kanthal® and nickel alloys. Content: Strand diameter

Nickel-iron alloys

NICKEL-IRON (NiFe) ALLOYS Nickel-iron (NiFe) alloys for up to 600°C (1110°F): Nifethal® 70 and Nifethal® 52 are alloys with low resistivity and high temperature coefficient of resistance. The positive temperature coefficient allows heating elements to reduce power as temperature

Copper-nickel alloys

COPPER-NICKEL (CuNi) ALLOYS Copper-nickel (CuNi) alloy Cuprothal® 49 (universally known as Constantan) is manufactured under controlled conditions from electrolytic copper and pure nickel. Cuprothal® 49 has a number of special characteristics – some electrical, some mechanical – which

Kanthal GmbH - Once again awarded the audit berufundfamilie certificate

Kanthal GmbH awarded the audit berundfamilie certificate for its sustainable human resources policy.

Cost-cutting cassettes and a reduced carbon footprint

The ESE product line from Kanthal offers reduced heat loss through insulation of heating elements for lower energy consumption and increased productivity.

Decarbonizing aluminum needs tech, investment, and policy change

As the aluminum industry seeks to reduce its climate impact, electrification is one solution that could help reduce emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

The biggest challenge: everyone wants more battery power

For lithium-ion batteries to be part of a greener future, we need to rethink how they are sourced, manufactured and recycled.

International Lithium Association: “The twenty-first century will be the lithium century”

The International Lithium Association says lithium batteries are key to the transition to a cleaner, sustainable and renewable energy sector.

Energy-efficient technology aids goal of carbon neutrality

The lithium-ion battery industry’s climate footprint is being scrutinized, putting pressure on all parts of the production chain to become more energy efficient and sustainable.
