Uniqueness and Advantages

Compared with other crucible materials, Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles has significant advantages:

Compared with graphite crucible:

1. High temperature resistance: The working temperature of Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles can reach 1600, the maximum instantaneous temperature resistance is 1800, and the high temperature resistance exceeds that of graphite crucible.

2. Thermal shock resistance: The low thermal expansion coefficient and high thermal conductivity of silicon carbide combined carbon crucible enable it to remain stable under rapid temperature changes and reduce the risk of rupture.

3. Corrosion resistance: Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles shows superior acid and alkali corrosion resistance, while graphite crucible is easily oxidized in an oxidizing atmosphere.

Compared with alumina (corundum) crucible:

1. Thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity of Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles is as high as 90~120W/m·K, which can quickly transfer heat and improve smelting efficiency, while the thermal conductivity of alumina crucible is lower.

2. Mechanical strength: Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles has high bending and compressive strength and can withstand large mechanical stress, while alumina crucible is easy to break under mechanical impact.

3. Chemical corrosion resistance: Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles shows excellent resistance to acid, alkali, and metal melt corrosion, while alumina crucible may react in certain high-temperature molten metal environments.

 

Compared with nickel-based alloy crucible:

1. High temperature resistance: Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles has excellent high temperature resistance and is suitable for higher temperature smelting processes, while nickel-based alloy crucibles have limited high temperature resistance.

2. Cost-effectiveness: Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibless have relatively low manufacturing costs, long lifespan, and high cost performance, while nickel-based alloy crucibles have higher material costs and shorter lifespans.

3. Corrosion resistance: Carbon Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles shows excellent corrosion resistance to various acids, alkalis and metal melt environments, while nickel-based alloy crucibles may form oxide films in high-temperature oxidizing environments, affecting their performance.

Silicon carbide combined carbon crucible has become an indispensable tool in modern metallurgy and casting industries due to its excellent performance and broad application prospects.  Through continuous technological innovation and process improvement, we are committed to providing customers with higher quality and more efficient smelting solutions to help customers improve production efficiency and product quality.
