Custom & Shaped Heating Elements
Custom Heating Elements for Industrial Applications
Custom heating elements mean we systematically design the materials, structure, and electrical specs based on your real-world operating conditions—such as temperature, atmosphere, power needs, installation method, and expected lifespan—instead of just handing you off-the-shelf standard products.
CVSIC offers customized heating elements using SiC, MoSi₂, or resistance wires (FeCrAl, NiCr, NiCu) for industrial heating systems. They’re perfect for industrial furnaces, heat-treatment equipment, ceramic sintering furnaces, lab furnaces, and all sorts of OEM heating systems.
What Does “Custom Heating Element” Really Mean?
In high-temp industrial settings, “custom” isn’t just tweaking the length or wire thickness.
True custom heating elements are designed around your critical engineering needs:
- Maximum Operating Temperature
- Atmosphere Compatibility
- Power Density
- Operating Mode (continuous, intermittent, or lots of thermal cycling)
- Mounting & Fixation
- Resistance, Stability & Service Life
How different materials perform on these factors directly impacts your system’s reliability, safety, and overall lifecycle costs.
Customizable Heating Element Materials
Heating Element Materials at a Glance
| Material System | Max Operating Temp | Applicable Atmosphere | Key Features | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SiC Heating Elements | ≤1600°C | Oxidizing | High strength at temp, long lifespan | Industrial furnaces, ceramic kilns |
| MoSi2 Heating Elements | ≤1800°C | Oxidizing | Ultra-high temp capable, great oxidation resistance | Sintering furnaces, lab furnaces |
| FeCrAl Resistance Wire | ≤1400°C | Oxidizing | Stable resistance, great value | Heating furnaces, ovens |
| NiCr Resistance Wire | ≤1200°C | Neutral/air | Good ductility, handles thermal shock well | Air heating, coils |
| NiCu Resistance Alloy | ≤600°C | Low-temp environments | High resistance accuracy | Controls, electric heating components |
It’s not about picking the most expensive one—it’s about the best fit for your specific conditions.
How We Position Each Material
Silicon Carbide Elements
Great for steady, long-term runs at 1400–1600°C in oxidizing atmospheres, with solid structural stability. Commonly used in industrial furnaces and ceramic kilns. Just keep in mind the resistance changes with temperature, so it needs the right electrical setup.
Molybdenum Disilicide Elements
When you need temperatures over 1600°C—up to nearly 1800°C—MoSi2 is one of the rare materials that can handle it long-term. Ideal for high-end sintering or lab furnaces, but pay extra attention to cold-end protection and thermal cycling.
FeCrAl Resistance Wire
In oxidizing setups from 1000–1400°C, it forms a tough Al₂O₃ protective layer for stable resistance and long life. It’s the go-to material for resistance heating in most industrial gear.
NiCr Resistance Wire
Excellent ductility and thermal shock resistance make it better suited to vibrating environments, frequent on/off cycles, or air heating—though its max temp is lower than that of FeCrAl.
NiCu Resistance Alloy
This isn’t for high temps; it’s for mid-to-low range (≤600°C), where you need super-precise, stable resistance in heating or control systems.
How We Design Heating Elements Around Your Conditions
Custom design isn’t “pick a material and call it a day”—it’s an engineering process driven by your specifics:
Key Inputs We Need
- Operating Temperature Range
- Furnace Atmosphere (air, oxidizing, inert)
- Power and Power Density Needs (W/cm²)
- Operating Mode (steady run, on/off, frequent cycling)
- Mechanical Limits (space, supports, mounting)
What You Get Out of It
- Material Choice (SiC, MoSi₂, or resistance wire)
- Element Shape (wire, coil, rod, strip)
- Resistance and Power Setup
- Lifespan and Safety Margins
This tailored approach—from your conditions to smart decisions to solid results—is what sets custom apart from standard parts.
Our OEM/ODM Customization Capabilities
We can customize heating elements based on:
- Your operating parameters or tech specs
- Drawings or rough sketches
- Volume production with tight consistency
- Long-term OEM/ODM partnerships
The goal isn’t just a one-off delivery—it’s reliable, repeatable solutions that keep running strong in your industrial setups.
