Kanthal, a world leader in electric industrial heating technology and resistance materials, announces the release of an updated edition of its Handbook for Resistance Heating Alloys for Appliances and Industrial Furnaces. While the content is digitally available on the company’s web site, Kanthal has also introduced a limited-edition coffee table book, combining technical depth with powerful visuals reflecting the company’s journey and innovations.
First published in the 1940s, the Kanthal Handbook has long served as a trusted resource for engineers, technicians, and industrial professionals. It provided the technical foundation for designing and maintaining Kanthal heating elements, becoming a cornerstone of the company’s global success.
The handbook began as a printed catalog and expanded into multiple languages as Kanthal’s business grew globally. Over the years, it has evolved to reflect advances in materials, technologies, and applications, while focusing on delivering accurate and practical knowledge.
The updated handbook continues this tradition, providing detailed information on resistance heating alloys, chemical resistance data, surface load recommendations, and design tools to meet the needs of today’s industries. It supports the transition to electrification and aligns with the global shift toward more sustainable industrial solutions.
“This handbook is a living document, constantly evolving and built on decades of practical experience, reflecting the challenges and opportunities our customers face every day. This latest edition provides a deeper understanding of resistance materials, helping engineers and industry professionals make informed decisions. We aim to ensure it remains a relevant and valuable resource supporting the shift toward more sustainable and electrified solutions”, says Marcus Andersson, Sales Director Business Unit Heating Materials at Kanthal.
To commemorate the handbook’s impact and rich history, Kanthal has released a limited-edition coffee table book that blends technical expertise with stunning imagery. The book offers a unique perspective on Kanthal’s contribution to industrial heating and electrification. It serves as a reference and a collector’s item, celebrating nearly a century of knowledge, innovation, and global success.
