Kantel: Grasp the spark of science and technology and breed innovation

In recent years, people have changed from being unfamiliar and curious about 3D printing technology to being able to apply it skillfully in various fields. Many of them have some fantastic ideas, which make people feel the magic of science and technology. From Jimi Hendrix to Kurt Cobain, many rock singers were addicted to smashing the guitar. The moment the guitar broke, the atmosphere of the concert reached its climax. Rock and roll and hot, music and technology, there seems to be no link between, but just a short time ago, a company came up with the idea of a perfect combination of the two, instantly collided with a dazzling spark.

This company is Sandvik. The division used 3D printing technology to create a sound guitar, and invited rock and roll legend Ingway Malmstein, a "master" who has been devoted to the guitar during his rock and roll career, to test its reliability. In this way, the world's first indestructible all-metal guitar was born. Behind the seemingly dramatic scenes, it is an important milestone in the development of science and technology. At the same time, as a well-known brand of Sandvik, Cortel is also brilliant in the global heating industry. Since the establishment of Swedish company Kanthal AB in 1931, the brand of Kanthal has been focusing on providing leading industrial heating technology and excellent products in the field of resistive materials. Since it was acquired by Sandvik Group in 1997, it has been focusing on the continuous upgrading of metal resistance materials and high temperature ceramics products and the vigorous research and development of innovative heating solutions. The combination of Constell and Sandvik is the spark of the collision between speed and passion.

First of all, as part of Sandvik Group, Cortel represents world-class expertise in the field of heating technology products and solutions, adhering to Sandvik's core values of customer supremacy, innovation, fair competition and aspiration. At the same time, it is worth mentioning that environmental awareness, health and safety are an important part of Sandvik's business and are at the forefront of all Sandvik's operations. Kantel has a deep understanding of this point, and at the same time practises it from a little bit to little, and strives to develop toward a sustainable high temperature heating industry in the future. For example, the company recently launched its star product, Cortel Electric Heating System, which focuses on the conversion from natural gas to electricity in order to achieve emission reduction and improve energy efficiency.

Ssecondly, from the innovation of high-end technology, as part of Sandvik's material technology, Cortel upholds the belief that Sandvik's material technology will deeply study and solve the most difficult material problems and actively respond to extreme challenges. In the field of high temperature resistance, KANTHAL APM / APMTTM ferrochromium aluminum alloy invented by Cortel not only has all the advantages of ferrochromium aluminum alloy, but also has very superior high temperature mechanical properties. KANTHAL APMTTM furnace rollers are made from APMT, a material based on powder metallurgy. Compared with conventional nickel-chromium alloy furnace rollers, KANTHAL APMTTM furnace rollers have superior high temperature oxidation resistance, carburization resistance, sulfur resistance, nodulation resistance and other properties. At the same time, the mechanical properties at high temperature are more stable, the weight is lighter, the strength is higher, the elongation is lower, and the bending, elongation, or deformation problems are not easy to occur, even without water cooling system.

Finally, in terms of meeting the needs of the industry and keeping pace with the times, Cortel, like Sandvik, has experienced many years of professional technology accumulation and strength research and development, and is committed to providing customers with unique solutions and corresponding products. For example, in the glass industry, with the rapid development of China's float glass, China's glass technology continues to upgrade and transform from building glass to automobile glass, and then to ultra-thin glass, electronic glass, photovoltaic glass, cover glass, optical glass and fireproof glass. The application of Cortel in the glass industry has also been fully promoted, from Pilkington, Corning, Short, St. Gobain and so on abroad to Nanbo, China building materials, Yaobi, Fuyao, Luobo, Xinyi, Dongxu and Taibo in China, etc., which are gradually popular among glass giants in various fields. Especially for the special float industry, Cortel fully meets the high requirements of the float industry for special temperature, special atmosphere, special power distribution and so on.

Innovative technology, electric heating. Kantel is committed to moving forward in the storm, never satisfied with the existing achievements. As Klas, president of Sandvik Processing Solutions, said, "We don't produce products for consumers, so people don't realize how far our approach is at the forefront." I believe that in the future, Sandvik and Contail will continue to uphold the spirit of fierce exploration, create more convenience for people, and use science and technology to benefit their lives!
