Silicon nitride is the world's most effective material widely used in non-ferrous metal casting temperature measurement and temperature 

control, silicon nitride heating element protection tube used in the casting industry immersion insulation furnace. The advantages of 

immersion insulation furnace are very obvious, and in order to realize the heating body immersed in the metal melt, it is necessary to have 

a protection tube that can protect the heating body well.



Advantages of silicon nitride protective tube :


Excellent thermal conductivity, thin tube wall (only a few millimeters), very fast response to temperature, can be measured in 1 minute liquid 

metal temperature


It will not melt at high temperature, and there is no pollution to metal liquid


Excellent thermal shock resistance, oxidation resistance, thermal shock resistance


Strong erosion resistance, corrosion resistance, erosion resistance


Not easy to accumulate slag, easy to maintain


The product is electrical insulator


It can be used in alloy melts containing sodium and strontium components


The service life is more than 12 months, the longest can be used for several years, and the cost performance is very high


Comparison of performance of different heating methods:

No.
