High-performance silicon nitride ceramic materials developed for the aluminum industry has significantly improved thermal and mechanical properties than similar products. On this basis, the "L-shaped high thermal conductivity submerged heating "Appliance" will bring revolutionary progress to aluminum industrial equipment.
Silicon nitride ceramic is widely used as a thermocouple protection tube. Due to its excellent high-temperature performance, the service life is more than one year.
Advantage:
-
Silicon nitride ceramics have low wettability to molten aluminum, so on-site maintenance is basically unnecessary.
-
Compared with cast iron, graphite and other materials, silicon nitride will not be corroded by molten aluminum, thus ensuring the accuracy and sensitivity of the measured temperature;
