Silicon Carbide (SiC) Heating Elements
Product Details
Silicon Carbide (SiC) Heating Elements
The Jaye Heater Silicon Carbide Heating Elements are advanced heating elements made of ceramics, designed for use in air or controlled atmospheres and temperatures above 1625°C (2957°F). The heating elements are constructed from a high purity silicon carbide composite which retains their structural integrity and electrical properties under very high thermal stress. Standard shapes include straight rods, U-shapes, and spiral rods but can be configured to also meet other custom furnace geometries or thermal exposures.

Key Features & Advantages
- Extreme High-Temperature Capability: Perfectly suited for long-term operation at temperatures ranging from 600°C to 1625°C, making them indispensable for advanced industrial and research processes.
- Exceptional Long Service Life: Thanks to their high oxidation resistance and ability to withstand thermal cycling, our SiC elements offer a significantly longer operational lifespan compared to metallic alternatives, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
- Rapid Heating and High Power Density: SiC's unique properties allow for fast heat-up and cool-down cycles, improving process efficiency. Their high power density enables compact furnace design without compromising on performance.
- Stable Resistance & Aging Performance: While SiC elements experience a predictable resistance increase over time (aging), Jaye Heater's precise manufacturing ensures consistent initial properties and stable aging characteristics for reliable power control throughout their life.
- High Mechanical Strength: These elements retain high mechanical strength even at elevated temperatures, ensuring durability and resistance to warping or sagging in vertical or horizontal installations.

Installation Instructions
Notice for using and installing SIC heater:
1. Be protected against damp during storing or installing to ensure the performance ;
2. Divided before assembling. The tolerance of the resistance of each one cannot exceed by 10% each other;
3. Be careful when using and maintaining;
4. When operating the electric furnace at the beginning, the voltage should be increased slowly and cannot be fully loaded at once. Otherwise the larger current will be resulted in the damage of heater.
5. When heater is damaged and need to be changed, the resistance of new ne should follow the increasing resistance. If many are damaged or resistance increased too much, heater should be changed.
