GD type sic rod heating element

Product Introduction

The GD-type SiC rod heating element is a specific variant of silicon carbide heating elements, often referred to as a "Guarded" or Double-spiral heating element. This type is designed for applications that require robust performance, uniform heating, and extended service life in high-temperature environments.

Physical and Mechanical Properties

SiC rod heating elements are known for their superior mechanical properties and physical resilience. The key characteristics include:

• Double Spiral Structure:

The GD type consists of a straight SiC rod with a double spiral cut in the center section of the heating element. This spiral design increases the effective heating surface, enhancing efficiency and uniformity of heat distribution.

The cold ends (non-heating sections) are often protected or "guarded," minimizing heat loss and providing greater control over the heated zone.

• Operating Temperatures:

Like other SiC elements, the GD-type can operate at temperatures up to 1600°C (2912°F) in air or even higher in controlled atmospheres.

• Durability:

The element is highly resistant to oxidation and degradation, ensuring a longer lifespan even in extreme conditions like oxidizing atmospheres, corrosive environments, or high-temperature furnaces.

• Versatile Heating:

The GD design allows for stable, uniform heating and is typically used in applications where even temperature distribution is critical.

• High Density:

Due to the design, GD-type SiC elements provide high power output and can handle high power density applications.

• Power Supply & Configuration:

The GD-type elements usually require AC power. They can be connected in a series or parallel arrangement, depending on the furnace design and power supply specifications.

Product Functions

Reduced Cold End Heating: The guarded design of the cold ends helps avoid unnecessary heat in the connecting areas, which reduces wear and power loss.

Uniform Heat Distribution: The double spiral design promotes even heat distribution across the heating zone.

Long Service Life: High resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and thermal shock prolongs the service life in industrial environments.

Product Applications

1. Glass Manufacturing: Used in glass furnaces for melting and refining glass.
2. Ceramics Processing: For sintering, firing, and heat treatment of ceramics.
3. Heat Treatment: For annealing, tempering, and sintering in high-temperature industrial furnaces.
4. Metal Processing: Used in metallurgical furnaces for sintering, melting, and casting metals.
5. Laboratory Furnaces: Ideal for laboratory setups that need precise, consistent high temperatures.

Product Process and Production Flow

Our SiC rod heating elements undergo a rigorous manufacturing process, ensuring the highest quality standards at every stage:

1. Material Selection: Premium silicon carbide powder is selected for its purity and performance characteristics.
2. Shaping and Forming: The SiC material is molded into the desired rod shape using specialized equipment to ensure uniformity and accuracy.
3. Sintering: The rods are sintered in a high-temperature furnace to enhance their strength and thermal properties.
4. Surface Treatment: A final treatment is applied to ensure resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
5. Quality Control: Each SiC rod heating element is tested for electrical resistance, thermal conductivity, and dimensional accuracy before leaving the factory.
