Molybdenum Heater

Molybdenum heaters and heating elements with high conductivity, high-temperature strength, creep resistance and dimensional stability. Used as insulating and reflecting elements in sapphire-growth and vacuum furnaces, where smooth surfaces and accurate geometry improve crystal growth. Recommended working temperature up to 2000 °C — chamber sizes and geometry custom to your drawing.
