MoSi2 Heating Elements: Molybdenum Disilicide Heaters with 1800℃ Max Service Temp, Self-Protecting Oxidation Resistance, and High Power Density

MoSi₂ heating elements (molybdenum disilicide heaters) deliver exceptional performance in high-temperature industrial processes. With a density of 5.5 g/cm³, these disilicide-molybdenum heaters are ideal for sintering ferrites, technical ceramics, refractories, and glass manufacturing applications. They operate reliably in continuous or periodic cycles within neutral, vacuum, or oxidizing atmospheres at temperatures up to 1800°C.

A key advantage of MoSi₂ heaters is the self-forming protective silicon dioxide (SiO₂) layer that prevents further oxidation, ensuring long service life and thermal stability.

MoSi₂ heating elements are designed for high-temperature use in oxidizing environments. The protective SiO₂ layer prevents melting and degradation. However, prolonged use between 400°C and 700°C must be avoided, as this temperature range promotes accelerated oxidation and potential damage.
