There are several types of heating elements available for industrial heating. Generally speaking, metallic heating elements such as nichrome wire (Ni-Cr) are commonly used in lower temperature ranges (up to 1100°C), and MoSi2 elements are often used in high-temperature ranges (1200-1900°C). Silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements cover between the two at temperatures up to 1600°C. Silicon carbide is a ceramic material with relatively high electrical conductivity when compared to other ceramics. The uniqueness of this material is that it has…

As a new type of electric heating element, silicon carbide rods are widely used in various types of electric industrial furnaces. The main composition of this rod is silicon carbide that is an artificial abrasive. Generally, silicon carbide is divided into black silicon carbide and green silicon carbide. The later one owns greater purity. In addition to being used in the abrasive industry, silicon carbide is used in the electrical industry to produce silicon carbide electric heating elements – silicon…
TZM is molybdenum’s prime alloy and is an alloy of titanium, zirconium and carbon. This alloy is the most popular materials among various kinds of molybdenum metal and molybdenum alloys. With better high temperature resistance, greater strength, it can be used as a mold for high-temperature heat processing of metals. In addition, to be applied in the hot runner system as nuzzle tip, it can maintain the plastic melting state and helps the formation of plastic products. For the strengthening…
For many years, I have made the business of non-ferrous metal such as Tungsten, Molybdenum and Rare Earth. What others have done for a long time has become an Expert and/or Professor, but I have become just an old man. So I always think maybe for my business is a very local thing, it’s neither fashionable nor noble. It’s just a livelihood in the eyes of others! Tungsten Cube, Crypto Coin But now, I suddenly feel that the world has…
The earliest produced in the industry is titanium-zirconium-molybdenum (TZM) alloy, which is a molybdenum alloy containing 0.4%-0.55% titanium, 0.06%-0.12% zirconium and 0.01%-0.04% carbon. The total amount of alloying element does not exceed 1%. There are two main sintering methods for titanium-zirconium-molybdenum alloy: hydrogen protection sintering and vacuum sintering as following: 1.Hydrogen protection sintering: the product is sintered under the protection of hydrogen. During the process, due to the reduction effect of hydrogen, the oxides in the molybdenum powder will be…
Tungsten pins, also named tungsten needles or tungsten electrodes, are a typical tungsten product with purity of 99.95%. It has a silver-white appearance, a slender structure, a length of 20mm-1000mm, and a diameter of 0.3mm-10mm. Usually, the product is customized. The pin is mostly made from pure tungsten and sometimes tungsten alloy, with the characteristics of high hardness, greater tensile strength, good wear resistance, excellent ductility, and excellent electrical conductivity. However, if a fine tip is required, it is very…
A collimator, a device used to transform the diverging light or other radiation from a point light source into a parallel beam. Special measurements in spectroscopy and in geometric and physical optics require this kind of collimation. The optical collimator consists of a tube. One end of the tube is a convex lens, and the other end is an adjustable aperture. The aperture is located in the focal plane of the lens. The radiation entering the aperture leaves the collimator…
High power electronics and circuits generate a lot of heat during operation. The heat sink materials help to eliminate the heat of the chip, transfer it to other media, and maintain the stable operation of the chip. Tungsten-copper and molybdenum-copper alloy are the most common heat sink materials, which are a kind of heat sink substrate commonly used for high airtight packaging such as CPU, IC, solid microwave tube. This material has a thermal expansion coefficient and high thermal conductivity…
