The molybdenum disilicide( MoSi_2) based heating element is more and more important in modern industrie relating to thermal treatment,melting and sintering du to its high working temperature. In China,the consump tion of the MoSi_2 heating element continues to increase with development and upgrading of industries. However,the MoSi_2 heating element from local manufacturers stil has poor quality and thus results in waste of precious mo lybdenum resource. In this review,the recent research re sults of production process of MoSi_2 heating elements were briefly summarized. The purity and particle size distribu tion of starting Mo Si2 powder as well as the mixing and sintering processes were identified as major impact factor on the performance of MoSi_2 heating elements. This re view points out the improving direction for local Mo Si2 heating elements.
