Heating Element
HE-SiC Silicon Carbide Heating Element
SiC resistance elements for kiln and furnace applications up to 1600 °C.
Silicon carbide heating elements bring superior strength and resistance to thermal shock, enabling rapid heating rates in ceramic kilns, glass-melting furnaces, and powder-sintering ovens. SAWHEAT supplies SiC elements in straight rod, U-shape, and W-shape configurations to suit various chamber layouts.
