Furnace Preparation: Ensure the furnace is clean and free of debris. Verify that the mounting holes are aligned and of the correct size for the heater.
Careful Handling: Handle SiC heaters with care to avoid impacts or fractures. Use gloves to prevent contamination.
Heater Insertion: Insert the GDC/U heater into the furnace, ensuring the terminals are correctly oriented towards the electrical connections.
Electrical Connection: Make the electrical connections securely, using suitable high-temperature terminals. Ensure there are no loose connections that could cause electrical arcing.
Initial Test: Before full-load operation, perform a gradual heating test to verify correct operation and temperature uniformity.
The service life of a Silicon Carbide (SiC) heater operating at its maximum nominal temperature of 1500°C typically ranges between 2,000 and 5,000 hours of continuous operation. This range critically depends on the surface load (W/cm²) and the furnace atmosphere.
Factors Influencing Longevity: At 1500°C, the SiC material is near its thermal operating limit. To maximize durability, it is vital to maintain a low surface load (generally between 3-8 W/cm²).
Impact of Thermal Cycling: Intermittent use (frequent on/off cycles) significantly reduces service life due to mechanical stress from thermal expansion. Continuous operation is preferred to achieve the heater's maximum performance.
