Kanthal Corp.    Bethel, CT 06801-1837
Aug 12, 2003 Kanthal Globar® SD silicon carbide heating element is extruded from blend of high-purity alpha silicon carbide grain, which is recrystallized at over 2,500°C to form self bonded structure. Manufactured in one- or 3-piece construction, products may be supplied as straight rods or multi-leg elements. Low porosity and large grain size reduce total surface area of silicon carbide that is exposed to furnace atmosphere, which reduces rate of resistance increase over time.
