Silicon Carbide SIC Heating Elements U Type For Muffle Furnace
Our U-Shape (U-Type) Silicon Carbide (SiC) heating elements are high-performance, cost-effective solutions designed for extreme environments in muffle furnaces and various electrical furnaces. Manufactured from high-purity silicon carbide, these elements offer exceptional thermal stability, minimal deformation, and a long service life, even at temperatures up to 1600°C in air without a protective atmosphere.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-Temperature Performance: Reliable operation in environments ranging from 600°C to 1600°C
- Superior Oxidation Resistance: Excellent resistance to oxidation, ensuring durability and consistent performance
- Customizable Sizing: Available in custom lengths and configurations (OEM support available) to perfectly fit your specific furnace design and requirements
- High Thermal Conductivity: Efficient heat transfer with thermal conductivity of >18 W/m*K at 800°C
- Mechanical Strength: High cold crushing strength (150 MPa) and good rupture strength at elevated temperatures (>50 MPa at 1200°C)
- Low Thermal Expansion: Coefficient of thermal expansion <4.7x10⁻⁶/°C minimizes deformation and extends lifespan
- Easy Installation & Maintenance: Designed for straightforward installation and reliable long-term use
