SiC (Silicon Carbide) ElementSTARBAR SEU77 62 X 1.50 (6.10 nominal ohms)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION SEU
Made of special high-density reaction-bonded silicon carbide, the SEU Starbar is a
tube with both electrical connections on one end. The hot zone is formed by
cutting a slot, which reduces the cross-sectional area over which the current flows,
resulting in higher resistance than the cold end. The cold end is formed by cutting
two longitudinal slots along the length of the tube and is made of LRE (low
resistance end) material and in most cases is larger in diameter.
The SEU element is supplied with a ceramic collar cemented to the cold end. The
cold end of the SEU element is flame sprayed with aluminum for a distance of
about two inches. Flat, braided-aluminum straps are held in compression with a
stainless steel clamp to this metalized area. The clamp is electrically insulated
from the flat braid with high-temperature insulation. The aluminum braid is ten
inches long and holes are provided for easy connection to the power supply.
OPERATING TEMPERATURES
In an air or inert atmosphere of argon or helium, the SEU Starbars can be operated at furnace temperatures up to 3000ºF (1650ºC). In reducing atmospheres, the maximum operating temperature is 2500ºF (1370ºC).
