Effect of Furnace Atmosphere on Silicon Carbide Heating Element
Silicon carbide heating elements are more suitable for use in three atmospheres: one is a neutral atmosphere, such as an inert gas environment, such as nitrogen and argon; the second is a reducing atmosphere, such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide; and the third is a vacuum environment.
Many atmospheres will affect the service life of silicon carbide heaters. For example, carbon dioxide will corrode silicon carbide heating elements. The solution is to use quartz tubes for protection. Hydrocarbons are prone to electrical failures. The solution is to supply sufficient air. According to different atmospheres, we can find corresponding solutions.

Precautions for Installing Silicon Carbide Heating Element
- Before installing the silicon carbide heating element, the resistance must be checked and compared with the standard value. The maximum resistance deviation is ±0.1Ω.
- During installation, the silicon carbide heating element should be evenly distributed around the furnace and rotate freely 360 degrees.
- When using silicon carbide heating elements, a voltage-regulating transformer is required. If the voltage reaches the transformer limit and there is still a problem, the furnace can be stopped, and the rod wiring method can be changed.
- Before being put into use, no-load debugging should be carried out.
- After no-load debugging is normal, load debugging should be carried out.
- Silicon carbide heating elements should be kept away from moisture during storage.
The maximum operating temperature of silicon carbide heating elements is 1620℃, generally 1450-1480℃. Different types have different operating temperatures. We can adjust according to customer requirements.
Silicon carbide heating elements are tubular non-metallic high-temperature electric heating elements made of high-quality green silicon carbide as the main raw material, processed into semi-finished product, siliconized, and recrystallized. They are widely used in many industrial fields such as metallurgy, machinery, ceramics, glass, and electronics.
After the silicon carbide heating element is heated at high temperature, the temperature in the furnace can be increased, thereby improving the quality and production efficiency of the sintered products, and the temperature can be accurately controlled to ensure the stability of the sintered products. It is a key component in the ceramic production process.
