SiC
Heating Element
SiC heating elements are resistant to thermal shock and have a long lifespan. Its high thermal conductivity, ensures heat is dissipated quickly along the entire length, and therefore providing great energy efficiency.
With heating temperature up to 1,600°C, SiC heating element is ideal for heating in extreme environments.
How is made?
Raw Material Preparation
High-quality silicon carbide is selected as the main raw material, and auxiliary materials may be added to improve the performance of the silicon carbide rods.
Shaping Process
The raw materials undergo a shaping process, such as extrusion, molding, or isostatic pressing, to form the initial shape of the silicon carbide rods.
High-Temperature Sintering
The shaped silicon carbide rods are sintered at temperatures above 2000°C to increase their density and strength.
Machining
The sintered silicon carbide rods are precision machined to ensure their dimensions and shape meet specific application requirements.
Resistance Measurement
The resistance characteristic of silicon carbide rods is one of their important performance indicators, and it needs to be measured using specialized electrical testing equipment at high temperatures.
Surface Treatment
To improve the service life and performance of the silicon carbide rods, some surface treatments, such as applying an anti-oxidation coating, may be conducted.
Quality Inspection
After all processing steps, the silicon carbide rods are inspected for quality to ensure they meet design and application requirements.
