    Elements?

    Elements?

    I see you cutting up a grinding wheel.

    However, there are many compositions of grinding wheels.

    Would you have any reference as to which composition of grinding wheel your 'element' refers to? Or what information made you use parts of a grinding wheel for this?

    Hi volodar. The composition of the grinding wheels I use to make the heating elements is silicone carbide, a common material used. I tried graphite sticks but they did not work nearly as well. I discovered the solution in silicone carbide after researching different microwave susceptor materials. Thanks for watching volodar!
