Kanthal AB has launched five new grades of its Kanthal Super heating element. Designed for use at very high temperatures, the key feature of the new elements is that they work directly in the furnace atmosphere without muffles to protect them. Suitable for nitrogen, hydrogen, vacuum, and mixtures of endogas and reducing furnace atmospheres, these elements are ready-made for use in production and laboratory furnaces in the glass, steel, electronics, ceramics and heat treatment industries. One new element, Kanthal Super ER, offers the benefit of working in a range of different furnace atmospheres. It also can be replaced, if necessary, while the furnace is hot to minimize downtime.
