Silicon carbide (SiC), also referred to as carborundum, is an extremely durable ceramic used across numerous industries such as metallurgy, ceramics, glassmaking and more.
Globalar SiC elements are rod-shaped tubular non-metal high-temperature electric heating elements featuring a central hot zone with low resistance cold ends furnace welded directly onto it.
High Temperature Resistance
Silicon carbide rods offer resistance against deformation and cracking from high temperatures, making them suitable for protecting thermocouples that must move between hot and cold environments. Furthermore, these resilient rods can withstand bending without warping or cracking under pressure without warping or breaking.
These ceramic discs can withstand temperatures of up to 1470deg F, are easy to machine, and can be utilized in a variety of applications. Their thermal and mechanical stability make them the ideal solution for sorting ferrous and nonferrous materials in production lines, keeping metal scraps from contaminating products or performing other material-separation-based tasks.
Alumina ceramic, commonly referred to as mullite, is produced through the reaction between silica sand and carbon in a graphite crucible at high temperatures, yielding particles with various particle sizes and production methods – the Acheson method producing bulk silicon carbide crystals by sublimation being one such process; Lely Process also being an option.
Both processes can be tailored to the unique requirements of any project. Alumina is often used in engineered ceramics, lab ware, refractories and consumer electronics such as LEDs, semiconductors and detectors – as its versatility makes it the perfect material choice for applications requiring high temperature resistance and mechanical strength.
Lightweight
Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic is a high-performance material known for being hard, durable, and heat-resistant. This makes it suitable for a range of applications in industries including metallurgy, electronics and automotive; commonly found as wear resistant abrasives with excellent wear resistance properties; widely utilized for space exploration as positioning pins under intense heat environments due to its strength durability thermal stability properties; wear and corrosion resistant wear surfaces made of SiC are used often as wear resisting materials during welding processes due to not warping or deforming under intense heat conditions – making SiC ideal as wear resistance materials as wear resistors themselves don’t wear out over time compared with their counterparts made of traditional steel materials.
Silicon carbide heating elements are more cost-effective and require fewer maintenance services compared to metallic elements, operating at higher operating temperatures with superior oxidation and corrosion resistance as well as being easy to install and maintain.
Silicon Carbide (SiC) can be found in numerous fields, including electric furnaces, ceramics, metallurgy, machinery and glass industries. Globar SiC heating elements have many advantages over metal elements when compared with them, including higher working temperatures, long life span, small high-temperature deformation rates, anti-oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance compared with metal electric heating elements. They make an ideal choice for tunnel kilns, glass kilns, smelting furnaces muffle furnaces as well as high temperature electric furnaces requiring high reliability while maintaining stable performance while offering safety compared to metal equivalents that require reliability in high temperature electric heating equipment industries that need high reliability when using high temperature electric heating equipment requiring reliable high reliability in order to perform reliably and safety compared to metal electric heating elements such as their counterparts compared with metal ones – providing advantages such as their resistance against deformation due to increased stability when using high temperature deformation when exposed to corrosion resistance when exposed to high-temperature deformation when exposed to corrosion resistance from corrosion resistant surface protection of Globar SiC heating elements’ advantages over their metal counterparts like small high-temperature deformation deformation under small high temperature deformation under small deformation under pressure anti-oxidation resistance anti oxidation protection compared with corrosion resistant environments like magnetic materials powder metallurgy ceramics industries as well as being suitable for tunnel kilns smelting furnaces or muffle furnaces or similar needs for anti-oxidization or corrosion resistance due to anti oxidization or corrosion protection of corrosion resistance corrosion resistance against anti oxidization or antioxidation protection provided.

Customizability
Silicon carbide rods are lightweight and easily customizable to meet individual requirements. From ceramic kiln furniture to critical components in state-of-the-art aerospace technology, their versatility makes them an excellent choice.
Silicon carbide (SiC) can be made into grates that are used in fire sprinklers to stop water from splashing around within buildings, while its low thermal expansion rate makes it an attractive material for mirrors in astronomical telescopes.
Material such as this also makes an excellent material choice for fishing rod guides, as it reduces friction significantly while standing up to braided and superline fishing lines. Thus allowing longer cast times with greater efficiency compared to metal counterparts.
Historically, metal rod guides were attached to rod ends with metal rings; however, this design often caused ceramic inserts to loosen and drop out when hit against something. Today however, advanced ceramic ring guides can be fastened directly onto metal guide rings, virtually eliminating this issue.
Maintaining a sic ceramic rod requires regular cleaning to avoid impurities. Furthermore, temperature must be strictly managed to ensure no damages arise due to too high or too low temperatures. Finally, regular inspection and replacement if worn should take place.
Corrosion Resistance
Silicon carbide is a hard and durable material with excellent corrosion resistance that makes it suitable for use in high-temperature environments, such as welding positions pins and furniture pieces in kilns. Furthermore, this material’s good abrasion and wear resistance make installation and maintenance straightforward and can even withstand deformation caused by heat much like metal would, while also being acid resistant.
Silicon carbide ceramic rod is an exceptional high-grade refractory material that offers many advantages, including strong corrosion resistance, high temperature strength, small deformation at higher temperatures and fast heating speed. As such, silicon carbide ceramic rod is widely utilized by metallurgical industry for applications such as blast furnace bellies, open iron taps, electric porcelain furnaces, enameling furnaces and muffle kilns.
Silicon carbide ceramic rods operate according to an electrothermal effect. When an electric current passes through them, ions disperse as electrical energy is converted to thermal energy by absorption by the ceramic rod, warming it over time and making use of this valuable resource possible for extended use.
Ceramic rods made of silicon carbide boast a Mohs hardness of nine, providing excellent insulation against temperatures up to 1500degC. Ideal for welding applications in high temperature environments or other industrial uses requiring high insulation levels, ceramic also stands up well against corrosion and erosion.
