High-Performance Insulation Solutions for Metal Processing Applications

Fenhar specializes in providing innovative and durable insulation, mechanical wear, and elastomeric sealing components for the demanding metal processing industry. From electric arc furnaces to rolling mills, our high-performance materials and custom fabrication services ensure that your equipment operates efficiently and safely, even in extreme heat and high-stress environments.

Electric Arc Furnaces, Ladle Metallurgy Furnaces & Secondary Circuits

Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) are central to the steelmaking process, harnessing the power of electric arcs to melt scrap metal. Given the extreme conditions of EAFs—temperatures up to 3,000°C (5,432°F)—the insulation materials play a vital role in the system’s performance and longevity.
Fenhar custom insulation components are designed to handle the high thermal, electrical, and mechanical stresses that come with these applications. We provide solutions for various EAF components, including electrode holders, bus bar clamps, and transformer vaults, ensuring optimal furnace operation and minimizing downtime.
