Key Features of Silicon Nitride Tubes
- High Temperature Strength & Thermal Shock Resistance
Silicon nitride tubes can withstand extreme heat without cracking or breaking. Perfect for electric heaters and molten metal handling, they maintain structural integrity even in temperatures above 1000°C. - Minimal Reaction with Aluminum
This material exhibits minimal interaction with molten aluminum, ensuring the purity of the processed metal. In industries like casting, maintaining aluminum purity is vital for high-quality products. - Energy Efficiency
Our silicon nitride tubes can improve energy efficiency by 30-50% compared to traditional heating methods. Additionally, they reduce overheating oxidation of aluminum surfaces by up to 90%, saving costs and reducing energy waste.
Application in the Casting Industry
Silicon nitride tubes are widely adopted in electric heater protection systems, particularly in aluminum processing plants. These tubes enhance the performance of heating elements and provide a reliable, long-lasting solution for protecting thermocouples in furnaces, offering over one year of service life.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| High Temperature Strength | Operates in extreme conditions |
| Minimal Reaction with Aluminum | Ensures purity in metal processing |
| Energy Efficiency | Reduces energy costs significantly |
| Long Service Life | Typically lasts more than 12 months |
How to Use Silicon Nitride Tubes
1. Preheating Treatment
Before using the tube in any application, preheat it to above 400°C to remove any residual moisture. This ensures optimal performance and prevents thermal shock.
2. Slow Heating
When using for the first time, slowly heat the tube according to a heating curve to avoid rapid temperature changes, which can lead to cracking.
3. Regular Maintenance
To extend the life of the tube, clean and maintain it every 7-10 days. This simple step will help to ensure continued peak performance and prevent buildup from aluminum or other contaminants.
