Conclusions
Impurities in silicon carbide have a considerable effect on the life of heating elements and their physicomechanical properties. It is necessary to use silicon carbide of at least 98% purity for the manufacture of high-grade heating elements. Impurities should be not more than 2%, and the content of ferric oxide and alumina should not exeed 0.5%.
