Silicon carbide rods feature excellent chemical stability and formidable resistance to acids, though alkaline substances can impact them at elevated temperatures.
When used long-term above 1000°C, silicon carbide rods engage with oxygen and water vapor:
SiC + 2O → SiO + CO
SiC + 4HO → SiO + 4H + CO
These reactions enhance the SiO content in the rod, leading to increased resistance and accelerated aging.
Excessive water vapor hastens SiC oxidation, initiating a cyclic reaction where H reacts with O to regenerate HO, posing a threat to rod lifespan.
Nitrogen (N) acts as a shield against SiC oxidation below 1200°C but reacts with SiC above 1350°C, causing decomposition.
Chlorine (Cl) completely deconstructs SiC, mandating cautious usage to preserve rod integrity.
Fragility: Silicon carbide rods are hard and brittle; they demand careful handling to prevent damage during transport and use.
Heating Zone Length: Ensure the heating section aligns with the furnace chamber's width. Extending it into the furnace wall may lead to structural damage.
Cold End Length: The cold end must match the furnace wall thickness plus 50-150 mm of exterior extension for efficient cooling and secure clamping.
Furnace Hole Diameter: Should be precisely configured to ensure optimal performance and safe operation in high-temperature settings. 1.4-1.6× Ensure the cold end's outer diameter is appropriately accommodated. Using tight holes or filler materials may hamper the thermal expansion process, leading to breakage. It is crucial to install rods in a way that allows them to... achieve a full 360° rotation.
Spacing Requirements:
Keep a safe distance from heated materials or furnace walls, maintaining at least ≥ 3× the heating zone diameter for optimal performance.
Ensure center-to-center spacing between rods is at least ≥ 4× the heating zone diameter to prevent overheating.
Electrical Connections must be precise, as improper connections increase contact resistance and elevate the risk of rod cracking.
Resistance Matching: Prior to usage, it is advisable to group rods that have similar resistance values.
ns: Utilize aluminum braids or foil to securely connect cold ends to the main circuit. Ensure all clamps are securely tightened.
Furnace Preheating: Before activating new or long-dormant furnaces, preheat using old rods or alternative heat sources to minimize stress.
Storage: Maintain rod dryness as moisture negatively impacts the cold end's aluminum layer, potentially causing degradation.
Voltage Control: Implement a voltage regulator, initially setting it at 50% of the operating voltage. Gradually increase the voltage to avoid thermal shock and ensure longevity.
Operating Limits:
Optimize surface load and temperature parameters for efficient operation.
Maximum temperature capability: ≤1650°C.
Prevent chemical reactions by avoiding use in corrosive gas environments.
Replacement: When replacing rods, use those with similar resistance values or consider replacing the entire set. Partially-used rods may be reused if resistance levels are appropriate.
Avoid Molten Metal: Steer clear of contact with molten metal to prevent rod breakage.
Avoid Alkalis: Alkali metals and oxides are corrosive and can deteriorate rod integrity.
Regular Checks: Routinely monitor amperage, voltage, and temperature, inspecting for any:
Loose or oxidized clamps,
Rod fractures,
Uneven heating, such as red-hot zones.

In high-temperature oxidizing atmospheres, silicon molybdenum rods develop a protective quartz (SiO) coating, preventing further oxidation. At temperatures exceeding 1700°C, this layer melts, but it regenerates with continued use in oxidizing conditions.
Important Note: The remarkable Silicon Molybdenum rods should be used with caution, as they are not suitable for prolonged exposure in the 400-700°C range. Operating within these temperatures can lead to low-temperature oxidation, transforming these rods into powder and diminishing their effectiveness.

Silicon molybdenum (Si-Mo) rods are known for their durability at elevated temperatures, with a slight softening when exceeding 1500°C. However, they become hard and brittle when cooled. To effectively manage thermal stresses and allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the material, a free-hanging vertical installation is highly recommended. This approach not only optimizes performance but also allows for convenient hot replacement of rods without the need for full furnace cooling, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.
Furnace Lining Material
Utilize corundum bricks featuring FeO content <1%. A higher FeO content may react with the protective SiO layer, forming detrimental low-melting silicates, which can significantly speed up rod degradation.
Cold-End Sealing
Prevent hot gas leakage from cold ends as it increases heat loss and poses a risk of damaging conductive clamps and leads. For optimal insulation, choose asbestos clamps
to ensure maximum efficiency and safety.
Handling Fragility Si-Mo rods are inherently brittle
and possess low flexural strength. To prevent damage, avoid any impacts during installation. Ensure the security of asbestos/ceramic clamps before attaching conductive straps.Refrain from overtightening
Mounting with Insulating Bricks
Employ foamed corundum split bricks to support rods, effectively minimizing mechanical stress during both installation and removal.
Furnace Roof Installation
Place rod-mounted bricks into pre-cut slots on the furnace roof for a secure fit. Extend bricks beyond the roof surface to facilitate easier disassembly whenever necessary.
Conductive Strap Connection
Securely attach straps to pre-installed brackets. Ensure straps are free from tension and avoid unnatural bends to prevent any undue stress.
Anti-Sagging Measure
Apply a layer of refractory mortar (water glass-based) to joints, effectively securing asbestos clamps and countering thermal expansion-induced sagging.
Positioning Clearances
Heating zone taper: Maintain a clearance of 25-30 mm from furnace walls for optimal performance.
Cold ends: Extend by 75 mm above the furnace roof to ensure safety.
Lower heating end: Maintain a clearance of ≥50 mm from the furnace floor to prevent overheating.
