Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂), a refractory metal silicide, is mainly used as a heating element. Of late, it has been recognized as a potential structural ceramic, since it exhibits high elastic modulus and exceptional oxidation resistance at very high temperatures.

MoSi₂ and related composites are usually prepared through pressure-assisted sintering methods. Hot isostatic pressing creates intricate shapes, with even density and grain structures. However, this process is more expensive.

MoSi2 Heating Element Description:

1. High temperature for various electric furnaces.
2. Long life combined with ease of replacing failed elements
3. Can be used continuously or intermittently
