Thermic Edge have developed a range of standard Silicon Carbide Coating (SiC) coated Graphite elements in order to provide a low cost solution for high temperature heating in O2 and corrosive environments. SiC coating is suitable for use in Oxygen environments up to 1400°C and in High Vacuum up to 1000°C. The Sic coating is fully compatible with Hydrogen and inert gas environments.

The graphite elements are simple to mount, with two M14 threaded sections, allowing for stress relief of the main element. An M5 female threaded hole is provided on each power leg to allow connection to the customers power source, via ring terminals or busbars. The electrical connection is made at the base of the element against exposed graphite, which is kept outside of the hot zone of the element, eliminating the risk of a reaction between the power connection and the exposed graphite.

Thermic Edge are also able to offer customised SiC coated elements to suit existing systems. For more information or to discuss a requirement, please contact our sales team who will be able to assist in identifying a suitable solution.

Thermic Edge offers a range of standard PB/PBN heaters along with custom sizes/designs to suit customer specifications.
