MoSi2 heating elements

MoSi2 heating elements physics and chemistry characters:

 

1. Physics Characters

 2. Chemistry Character 
    MoSi2 heating element  is used in the high temperature under oxidizing atmosphere. It will form the SiO2 film which can keep the element from being melted. During the oxidizing process, the SiO2 protecting film is formed again when the element continues to be used. The MoSi2 heating element must not be used in the temperature between **0C and **0C for a long time, otherwise the element will be cremated under the strong oxidizing function in the low temperature.

 

MoSi2 Heating Element's installation: 

     The brittleness of MoSi2 heating  element is relative more under the usual temperature, it also has plasticity under the high temperature. So you had better hang and erect vertically the "U"-shape element. If you need to erect it horizontally, please choose a support of high-temperature insulating materials. The cone-part of the element must extend inside the furnace. At first the fixture of MoSi2 power connector cant be screwed too tightly.  When temperature of the element is going up,   please twist it tightly again, so the element is not easily broken.
