SiC and MoSi2 Heating Element Applications

Typical Industries And Processes

Technical ceramics: sintering, firing, calcination and controlled heating in box, shuttle, roller and continuous kilns.
Magnetic materials and ferrites: pre-firing and sintering processes where furnace design and atmosphere are technically suitable.
Glass and related processing: selected melting, conditioning, forehearth, annealing and laboratory applications.
Powder metallurgy and advanced materials: sintering, calcination and heat treatment where electric resistance heating is appropriate.
Refractory materials: firing and thermal processing of bricks, castables, shapes and test samples.
Laboratory and research furnaces: high-temperature testing, material development and controlled-atmosphere work, subject to element-grade and furnace-design limits.

The correct choice cannot be made from furnace temperature alone. The assessment should include element temperature, atmosphere, contaminants, thermal cycling, furnace construction, chamber size, voltage, power-control method, surface loading and expected maintenance conditions.
SiC elements are widely used for industrial and laboratory resistance heating and are available in many straight, U-shaped, multi-leg and special configurations. MoSi2 elements are commonly considered for higher-temperature applications, but grade designation does not by itself guarantee the achievable furnace temperature.

Please provide the process material, target furnace temperature, atmosphere, furnace dimensions, existing element type, electrical data, installation direction, duty cycle, contamination sources, drawing and photographs.
