High Temperature Crucibles - Ceramic, Graphite, Metal Materials for Foundries, Metallurgy, Glass Making and Technical Applications
Crucibles are versatile high-temperature containers used in applications like metallurgy, foundries, glass making and chemistry labs to withstand melting, fusing or chemical reactions.
Key crucible materials include:
- Ceramic
- Graphite
- Specialty metals
Ceramic crucibles dominate the market owing to excellent refractory properties and inertness. Graphite and metal crucibles are used for specific applications requiring properties like conductivity or corrosion resistance. Melting crucibles are the primary type, widely used in foundries and metal fabrication. Molten metal crucibles are a key category.
Other crucible applications include:
- Glass production
- Chemical reactors
- Nuclear
- Semiconductor processing
- Precious metals
