Warning

 

MoSi2 heating element is used in high temperatures under an oxidizing atmosphere. During the oxidizing process, the SiO2 protective film is formed again the heating element from melting during sustained use. The MoSi2 heating element must not be used in the temperature between 400oC and 700oC for a long time, otherwise, the element will be cremated under the strong oxidizing atmosphere at low temperatures.
