Fibercraft™ Low Mass Diffusion Heating Elements
The Fibercraft™ design incorporates helically wound flat ribbon, conventional wire or powdered-metal wire that is embedded in the vacuum formed ceramic fiber heating element insulation. By using this unique construction, Fibercraft™ elements more than triple the effective radiating surface. The result is maximum heat dissipation, lower operating costs, decreased thermal response time, and improved temperature uniformity.
Diffusion Elements
Vertical Diffusion Element
FC-200
For:
- Low Temperature Operation
- Rapid Thermal Response
Ideal for LPCVD and thin oxidation processes, the Fibercraft FC-200 provides fast recovery and rapid cool down rates. These low-mass elements give you repeatable performance. Unique thermal engineering is used to increase the radiating surface, extending element lifetime. Available with heater surfaces coated black.
FC-200L
For:
- Low Temperature Operation
- Rapid Thermal Response
- Longer Life
The FC-200L offers all the properties of the FC-200 combined with the additional features of Kanthal™ APM powdered metal wire to provide longer life. Improved lifetime for LPCVD and thin oxidation processes. Available with heater surfaces coated black.
The Benefits of Kanthal™ APM Powdered-Metal Wire
Powdered-metal wire increases the overall effectiveness of a heating element in high temperature applications. At 1100°C, powdered metal wire lasts twice as long as conventional heating element wire. At lower temperatures, the difference is even greater. At high temperatures, powdered-metal wire also shows superior resistance to sagging. Powdered-metal wire also has a higher tolerance to corrosive atmospheres, making it a better choice for processes employing HCI.
