A strategic partnership between Kanthal and HYBRIT aims to develop an electric gas heating solution for the fossil-free hydrogen used to reduce iron ore in the HYBRIT process.
In its quest to become a more sustainable company, Kanthal has set itself some ambitious targets for the coming decade, as well as a comprehensive plan that encompasses its customers, employees and suppliers.
Heating technology provider Kanthal announces that it has notified customers globally of a price increase, effective June 7, 2021. The increase is a result of higher costs related to raw material, logistics and personnel and will vary by products and regions in the range of 4% to 10%.
A new campaign launched by Kanthal is focusing on the future of heating technology in the steel industry. The future is electric, the company says, and the shift from fossil fuels enables steel producers to achieve precise temperature control while significantly reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption.
For heating steel ingots, fiber insulation and electric heating combine to give good temperature control and little energy lossat Kanthal’s steel plant in Hallstahammar, Sweden.
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.
