How to Extend the Service Life of SiC Heating Elements
Silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements are widely used in high-temperature applications such as ceramics sintering, powder metallurgy, glass processing, and laboratory heat treatment. Known for their high thermal conductivity, excellent oxidation resistance, and maximum working temperatures up to 1500°C, SiC elements are a popular choice for both industrial and research environments.
However, like all consumable components, SiC heating elements gradually degrade over time. The good news is: with proper care and operation, you can significantly extend their service life and reduce replacement costs.
