consisting of Molybdän-Disilizid (MoSi2) with ceramic additives.
There are two qualities available:

MD 31: for max. element temperatur up to 1700 °C
MD 33: for max. element temperatur up to 1800 °C

Moly-D has the ability to withstand oxidation at high temperatures by forming a protective layer of quartz (SiO2) on its surface.

MOLY-D-Elements has a low specific electrical resistivity with a positive resistance-temperature characteristic. That means, if the temperature is increasing the resistance of Moly-D-Elements will increasing too. So, at a constantly voltage, Moly-D has a high element-power at a low temperatur which reduces the warm-up time of the furnace up to the operating-temperature and gives so an economical advantage.
Because of its high temperature oxidation resistance, MOLY-D electrical resistance remains constant at constant temperature over its lifetime. This permits the use of old and new elements together in the same furnace, even if series-connected.

Typical application range for MOLY-D-Elements are:

steel industry
metal working industry
glass industry
ceramic industry, as well as laboratory furnaces

delivery forms:

2-shank bent elements are available in the following standard sizes:

Typ Terminal-
diameter
Lu
Heating-zone-
diameter
Le
3/6
4/9
6/12
9/18
12/24
6 mm
9 mm
12 mm
18 mm
24 mm
3 mm
4 mm
6 mm
9 mm
12 mm

Elements with cranked heating-zone or terminals are also available.

Spacing between shanks:

Typ 3/6: a = 20 / 25 / 40 mm
Typ 4/9: a = 20 / 25 / 40 mm
Typ 6/12: a = 40 / 45 /50 / 60 mm
Typ 9/18: a = 50 / 60 mm
Typ 12/24: a = 60 / 80 mm
(other sizes and 4-shank elements available on request)

Max. length of heating-zone depends on element temperature which is for

3/6 elements: 610 mm
6/12 elements: 1250 mm

MOLY-D-Elements are defined by:

  1. Material quality
  2. Diameter heating-zone in mm
  3. Diameter terminal in mm
  4. Terminal-length in mm (Lu)
  5. Heating-zone length in mm (Le)
  6. Spacing between shanks in mm (a)

example: MD-31, 6/12 mm, Lu = 400 mm, Le = 500 mm, a = 50 mm
