Silicon Carbide Graphite Crucible

Introduction
Silicon Carbide Graphite Crucibles are vital in high-temperature applications such as metal melting, particularly in industries like foundry, metallurgy, and aluminum casting. This guide will delve into the materials, usage, and maintenance of these crucibles, while highlighting the benefits that make them indispensable for B2B buyers in the metalworking field.

Material Composition and Technology

These crucibles are made from a blend of high-quality silicon carbide and graphite, offering outstanding thermal conductivity and durability. The advanced isostatic pressing process ensures uniformity, higher density, and eliminates defects, providing a longer service life compared to traditional clay-bonded graphite crucibles. This technology results in excellent resistance to thermal shocks and high temperatures, ranging from 400°C to 1700°C.

Key Features of Silicon Carbide Graphite Crucibles

• High Thermal Conductivity: The thin walls and fast heat conduction allow for more efficient melting processes, reducing energy consumption and lowering production costs.
• Resistance to Corrosion: These crucibles are designed to resist chemical attacks, especially from molten metals and fluxes. The multi-layer glaze and high-purity raw materials significantly extend the lifespan by protecting the crucible from oxidation and corrosive environments.
• Energy Efficiency: Fast heat conduction leads to energy savings, which is crucial for businesses looking to optimize their production processes.

Crucible Size

Maintenance and Best Practices
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of the crucible, the following guidelines are recommended:

• Preheat the crucible to around 500°C before initial use to avoid thermal shock.
• Avoid overfilling to prevent expansion-induced cracks.
• Inspect for cracks before each use, and store the crucible in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption.

Applications and Customization
Silicon Carbide Graphite Crucibles are widely used for melting non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and zinc. They are suitable for induction furnaces, tilting furnaces, and stationary furnaces. Businesses can also customize crucibles to meet specific dimensions or operational needs, ensuring a perfect fit for different production processes.
