Whatâ??s the Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heating element? Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2) heating element is a kind of resistance heating element basically made of high pure Molybdenum Disilicide. In oxidizing atmosphere, a layer of compact quartz protective film is formed on the surface of Mosi2 element owing to the high temperature combustion, which prevent Mosi2 from contiously oxidizing. In oxidizing atmosphere, its max temperature can reach 1800°C, and the applicable temperature is between 500-1700°C
