Glass Melting Electrodes made of Molybdenum

Electrodes made of molybdenum are used predominantly today for the melting of glass by means of electrical energy and similarly for electrically powered boosting systems. Mo electrodes produced using powder metallurgy stand out as a result of their purity and processing by exhibiting good form stability and high corrosion resistance to molten glass as well as good electrical and thermal conductivity.

Glass Melting Electrodes made of Mo The purity of the material also rules out any discolouration of the glass melt or the formation of bubbles.

The patented oxidation protection coating SIBOR® for molybdenum glass melting electrodes simplifies the installation especially for bottom and plate electrodes.

Mo plate electrode with SIBOR coating With SIBOR® coating the molybdenum glass melting electrodes are completely protected against oxidation during the up-tempering of the furnace.

Advantages:

  • Special glass melting electrode quality with regard to corrosion and creep resistance
  • Quick delivery from stock via PLANSEE-EXPRESS for standard electrodes with agreed thread types
  • Production of customer-specific thread types (stepped, tapered, etc.) on request
  • SIBOR® coating to protect molybdenum against oxidation
  • NICROM coating for water cooling holes to protect against boiling water corrosion
  • Outgas certificate available on request

Product Description:

Glass melting electrodes are delivered with a smooth forged and chemically cleaned surface. If requested, electrodes with a mechanically machined or coated surface are also available.
