  • Hairpin-type electric resistance heating element making
    Patent number: 4330908
    Abstract: An electric resistance heating element of the hairpin type is provided by a molybdenum disilicide resistance wire loop transversely connected to molybdenum disilicide terminals. The resistance wire is sandwiched between the ends of two pieces of terminal wire and the ends of these pieces are butt welded together on the resistance wire, to form each terminal.
    Type: Grant

  • Electric resistance heating element
    Patent number: 4267435
    Abstract: An electric resistance heating element is formed by a molybdenum disilicide wire loop formed by separate lengths of the wire having ends positioned together and butt welded to the end of a molybdenum disilicide connecting wire of larger diameter than that of the lengths. The lengths diverge from each other so they are electrically separated. Electrical connections with the free ends of the separate lengths of wire can provide for electrically powering the loop.
