Industrial Molybdenum Disilicide Heating Elements For Sintering Furnace

SPK MoSi₂ heating element

As technology continues to advance, the MoSi₂ resistive heating element is poised for further innovation. With ongoing research and development, it is expected to offer even better performance, higher energy efficiency, and more intelligent control features, meeting the evolving needs of various industries.
Looking ahead, this heating element will play a crucial role in emerging fields such as green energy production and advanced materials processing. Its unique properties and capabilities make it a key enabler for sustainable development and technological progress.

Precautions for MoSi2 elements

Care should be taken to ensure that MoSi₂ heating elements are not used within the temperature range of 400 ℃ to 700 ℃. In this unfavorable temperature span, low-temperature oxidation may occur, causing damage to the elements.
MoSi₂ heating elements are suitable for use in air and neutral atmospheres. A reducing atmosphere like hydrogen will damage the protective layer, and chlorine and sulfur vapor will directly impact the elements negatively.
At high temperatures above 1500 ℃, MoSi₂ heating elements become soft. At low temperatures, they are hard and brittle. To prevent stress during temperature changes and allow for the smooth expansion and contraction of the elements, the free vertical hanging installation method is a good option. This makes it easier to remove and replace the lifting elements and permits heat exchange without waiting for the furnace to cool.
