A silicon carbide (SiC) heating element is a non-metallic ceramic heater designed to generate heat inside industrial furnaces and high-temperature thermal-processing equipment. Unlike a conventional metallic resistance made from wire or alloy ribbon, a SiC element uses a ceramic semiconductor body. The active section may be manufactured as a straight rod, spiral-cut element, double-spiral element, spiral-type element or another geometry matched to the furnace.
\nA spiral-cut design increases the effective electrical path within a compact external length. This can help fit a longer hot zone into a restricted furnace chamber, but the final geometry must be selected from the furnace drawing and process data. \u201cDouble spiral\u201d, \u201cspiral-cut\u201d, \u201csame-end terminal\u201d and \u201csingle-ended\u201d are not interchangeable catalogue terms.
\nA SiC heating element is part of a complete heating system. The system can also include a power supply, SCR power controller, aluminium braid, clamps, insulators, supports and furnace-wall penetrations. Correct selection therefore requires the outside diameter, overall length, hot-zone length, cold-end lengths, nominal resistance, voltage, power, atmosphere, mounting orientation and operating cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
