Electrical current flows through the heating conductor, where it generates heat. This resistance heating creates the high temperatures in the furnace. Our components made of molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, and their alloys are made for this. We can provide heating conductors for all types of high-temperature furnaces according to your application.
By combining different constructions and materials for our heating elements, we are able to achieve low surface loading with an even temperature distribution. This ensures that the heating elements can reliably withstand high temperatures, even over long operating periods.
Our materials belong to the refractory metals. Molybdenum and tungsten are primarily used in thermal processes under high temperatures. With their high melting point, they do not become soft, even at extremely high temperatures. Refractory metals have a low thermal coefficient of expansion and a higher thermal conductivity than steel.
Our materials are also suitable for use with protective gases such as argon, helium, nitrogen, and hydrogen.
Our heating conductors are available as:
