The upper surface of the first silicon carbide coating is arranged on one side of the upper surface of the base away from the base. The lower surface of the second silicon carbide coating is the side, far away from the base, of the silicon carbide coating arranged on the lower surface of the base.
In the present invention, the ratio of the emissivity of the upper surface of the first silicon carbide coating to the emissivity of the lower surface of the second silicon carbide coating is 1 (1-1.2), for example, may be 1:1.11, 1:1.12, 1:1.13, 1:1.14, 1:1.15, 1:1.16, 1:1.17, 1:1.18, 1:1.19, and 1:1.2.
