Contact SupplierMica bands are made of an electrical resistance ribbon or wire, which is wound around a mica winding card and sandwiched between two sheets of mica, then wrapped in sheet metal. The resistance wire or ribbon that converts electrical energy to thermal energy is normally a nickel-chromium alloy of either 80% nickel which is useful to 1100°C or 60% nickel which is useful to 950°c. The mica is, most often, one of three types: muscovite, useful to 500°c, phlogopyte, useful to 750°c, and synthetic mica, useful to 900°c. The sheet metal is normally either mild steel, stainless steel, brass, GI depending on the temp and the product to be heated. The maximum temp for mica band heater is 400°c.
