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