MoSi2 heating elements physics and chemistry characters:
1. Physics Characters
Volume Density | Bending Strength | Vickers Hardness | Porosity | Water absorption | Heating Elongation Rate |
5.5 g/cm3 | 15-25 kg/cm3 | (HV)570kg/mm2 | 7.4% | 1.2% | 4% |
2. Chemistry Character
MoSi2 heating element is used in the high temperature under oxidizing atmosphere.
It will form the SiO2 film which can keep the element from being melted.
During the oxidizing process, the SiO2 protecting film is formed again when
the element continues to be used. The MoSi2 heating element must not be
used in the temperature between 400C and 700C for a long time,
otherwise the element will be cremated under the strong oxidizing function in the low temperature.

Notice to Furnace Operation:
To avoid high current surges which may cause damage to MoSi2 heating elements, the recommend starting procedure as following:
Small Furnace (Power 100KW) | Big Furnace (Power 100KW-500KW) |
Furnace Temperature .C | Voltage | Furnace Temperature .C | Voltage |
20-150 | 1/3 | 20-300 | 1/3 |
150-500 | 2/3 | 300-700 | 2/3 |
500-Working Temperature | Full | 700-working Temperature | Full |
Note: Shifting gear must be done quickly, otherwise high current surges may cause damage. |
