As a heater mainly composed of MoSi 2, as shown in FIG. 9, a U-shaped heater in which a rod-shaped heater material is bent into a U-shape and terminals are welded to both ends of the heat-generating portion is used. . In FIG. 9, a U-shaped heater 31
Is a heat generating part 32, a welding part 33, a grip (terminal) part 34,
It consists of the electrode part 35. However, since this terminal portion has a larger temperature drop than the heat generating portion, in a furnace that requires precise temperature control as described above, a rod-shaped heater is also used to reduce the terminal portion as shown in FIG. A heater having a shape (multi-shank) in which a large number of U-shaped heat generating portions formed by bending a material are connected to each other has been proposed. Such a shape of the heaters connected in series reduces the number of terminal portions penetrating the inside and outside of the furnace, so that heat loss radiated from the terminal portions can be reduced.
It is considered to have a certain effect on the homogenization of the furnace temperature. Recently, there has been a demand for a heater that can improve the integration of the heater and accurately control the heat. However, a heater formed by bending a rod-shaped heater material or a welded heater is apt to be deformed (flaking) during heating, and there is a problem that an accident such as a short circuit occurs when the bent portion is made dense. Therefore, there is a problem in that it is practically difficult to manufacture a highly accurate heater with high integration.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In manufacturing the MoSi 2 plate heater of the present invention, first, MoS as a raw material of the heater is used.
The i 2 powder is mixed with a binder, and the mixture is kneaded, for example, into a rod shape, fitted into a mold, and press-molded into a plate shape. It is desirable to use a thermoplastic resin contained in the binder. When a thermoplastic resin is contained in the binder, the strength (green strength) after molding is particularly increased, the molding accuracy is improved, and the thin plate can be molded. In this case, the rod-shaped mixture is a plastic product, and it suffices to load it in a volume corresponding to the plate-shaped recess of the mold or slightly larger amount. Excess MoSi 2 mixture after press molding is removed. An important point here is that each bent portion is formed into a shape that is bent in the plate width direction of the plate heater.

As the molding method, several methods can be mentioned. As the first, a method of filling a mold with a mixed powder of MoSi 2 powder and a binder and performing hot press molding,
The second method is to knead a mixed powder of MoSi 2 powder and a binder to form a clay, and fill the mixture thus obtained in a mold and press-mold. As the third method, MoSi
There is a method of kneading a mixed powder of two powders and a binder, fitting an extruded bar into a mold, and press-molding.
However, when a thermoplastic binder is used, it is necessary to appropriately adjust the temperature of the material and the mold from kneading to molding. In the present invention, any method may be adopted and can be appropriately selected and used according to the shape to be molded. In any case, it is desirable to fill and mold the base material so that defects such as bubbles do not remain inside. Next, this molded body was subjected to degreasing, primary sintering, and electric heating sintering to obtain Mo having a bent portion bent in the plate width direction of the plate heater.
A plate heater made of Si 2 is produced.

It is important that the bent portion is bent in the plate width direction of the plate-shaped heater, and structurally, the plate is hardly deformed in the width direction when used as a heater. Therefore, the distance between the plate heaters can be reduced, and the degree of integration can be significantly increased.
It is desirable that the ratio of the plate width to the thickness of the plate heater (plate width / thickness) is 2 or more, preferably 4 or more. The larger this ratio, the more effective the plate heater having the same thickness is in preventing deformation. The MoSi 2 plate-shaped heater having such a high degree of integration can be densely installed on the bottom wall, the top wall, the side wall, etc. of the heating device or the like. Moreover, since there is almost no deformation in the plate width direction, there are no accidents such as a short circuit, and since the degree of integration of the heaters is high, the uniformity of the temperature distribution in the furnace can be improved more effectively.

Further, even if the current density is the same as that of the bar material, the plate heater has a large surface area of the heat generating portion in the direction of the product to be heat treated, so that the heating efficiency can be improved and the uniform heat distribution of the product can be further improved. Has features. When the plate heater of the present invention has a continuous waveform, it is not always U.
Not only the letter shape but also a shallow U-shape, V-shape or sine curve shape can be formed, and the wave height can be changed. These simply change the degree and length of bending, and the U-shaped continuous waveform of the present invention includes all of these waveforms.

When the plate heater of the present invention is used, what is important is the power supply method, particularly the structure of the terminal portion. It is necessary to sufficiently lower the temperature of the terminal portion for supplying power to the heat generating portion of the plate heater. Therefore, according to the present invention, power is supplied by making the terminal portion of the plate heater wider than the heat generating portion or by making the terminal portion of the plate heater thicker than the heat generating portion. This increases the cross-sectional area of the terminal portion and lowers the resistance, thereby suppressing heating of the terminal portion. Also,
Instead of the above, the heating portion of the plate heater may be directly chucked by a metal electrode having a water cooling function to supply power.
In the present invention, these power supply methods can be arbitrarily selected and implemented according to the heating conditions by the heater. further,
It is desirable to fix the terminal portion of the plate heater or the heat generating portion near the terminal portion with a material having a heat insulating property and an insulating property. As a result, it is possible to effectively prevent accidents due to contact with terminals and the like.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 shows an example of a MoSi 2 plate heater in which S-shapes are connected symmetrically to each other so that they are substantially evenly accommodated in one circle as a whole.
The plate width of the heat generating part 2 of the heater 1 is 10 mm, and the plate thickness is 1.
The distance between the S-shaped portions was 8 mm and the distance between the S-shaped portions was 6 mm. Both ends of the heat generating portion 2 of the heater 1 extend parallel to the lower direction of the figure, and the terminal portion 3 is attached to the tip thereof. Since it is necessary to lower the temperature of the terminal portion 3, it is possible to gradually widen the width from the joint portion with the heat generating portion 2 as shown in FIG. 1 to form the wide terminal portion 3 having a width of 20 mm, for example. The width of the terminal portion 3 is twice the width of the heat generating portion 2. However, in this case, the heating portion 2 and the terminal portion 3 have the same thickness. As shown in FIG. 2, the both terminal portions 3 and 3 are made of a material 4 having heat resistance and insulation such as alumina.
The aluminum spraying 5 can be applied to the tip of the aluminum alloy to fix it and improve the electrical conductivity. This is further illustrated in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the holder 6 connected to the cable 7 can be chucked and energized.
