Types of common heating elements in muffle furnaces

muffle furnace has relatively high requirements for heating elements because of its high temperature. There are three common heating elements: resistance wire, silicon carbide rod, silicon molybdenum rod and so on.

What is the difference in the heating element of the muffle furnace according to the temperature?

Different muffle furnace heating elements adapt to different heating temperatures. Generally speaking, the muffle furnace whose temperature is below 1100°C is heated by resistance wire, the muffle furnace whose temperature is below 1300°C is heated by silicon carbide rods, and the muffle furnace whose temperature is above 1300°C is heated by silicon molybdenum rods.

The muffle furnace whose working temperature is below 900℃ for a long time cannot use silicon molybdenum rods, which will cause low temperature oxidation of silicon molybdenum rods.
