The Double Spiral Silicon Carbide Heating Element can be used in a variety of applications.

SGR elements are used in a wide variety of furnace applications, from small laboratory furnaces to large industrial heating processes, in different atmospheres and temperature ranges.

Used in dental furnaces

Most zirconia materials require sintering at high temperatures of 1450–1550°C for two hours or more. As a common electric heating element in zirconia sintering furnaces, silicon carbide rods are ideal for this process. They can be used to heat zirconia in an open crucible without a cover, which eliminates the need for a double atmosphere inside the crucible and enhances the accuracy of sintering. This approach avoids the complications of a second heating environment. Additionally, silicon carbide rods can cool rapidly without damaging the components.

Installation and Operation of SGR type Double Spiral Silicon Carbide Heating Element

Two types of installation

SGR type SiC Heater Element can be mounted vertically or horizontally.

Mounting Horizontally

When mounting the SGR type SiC Heater Element horizontally, the hot end does not need to be supported, the slot in the terminal end should not come in contact with the insulation in the wall of the furnace or kiln.

This is most easily accomplished by placing the slot in a horizontal position. The terminal holes should also be 10% larger than the diameter of the element.

Extreme caution should be used when mounting to ensure that the SGR type SiC heating elements are not placed in tension.

There should be adequate freedom to allow for the furnace and SGR type SiC heating elements to expand and contract independently.

Location of installation

SGR type SiC heater elements should have their heating sections centered in the furnace chamber so that no portion of the heating section extends into the furnace wall.

A conical or truncated cone shaped recess 1/2 inch (13mm) deep is sometimes located on the interior wall where the SGR type SiC heating elements passes through. This allows the hot zone to radiate properly and helps maintain a uniform emperature in the kiln.

Recommended SGR type Double Spiral Silicon Carbide Heating Element spacing

X = 2 × element diameter is the minimum,

1.5 × element diameter is the absolute minimum and requires a reduced element surface watt loading.

Z = S ÷ 1.41 minimum for stationary loads

Z = S ÷ 1.73 minimum for moving loads

S = 2 × element diameters minimum

X – distance from the centerline of element to any reflecting surface, such as a refractory wall or centerline of an adjacent element
