Silicon carbide crucibles are generally made of carbon bonded silicon and grate materials. Silicon carbide crucibles are suitable for smelting and melting precious metals, base metals and other metals in an induction furnace. They are used at a temperature reaching 1600 degree celsius.
The silicon carbide crucible offers a uniform and consistent temperature when melting and has a high strength and resistance to cracking. The uniform temperature gives a high quality molten metal needed for casting long lasting and good quality metal products.
silicon carbide grate crucible has the following characteristics:
1. Higher thermal conductivity: Shorten the time of smelting, save energy;
2. Higher strength: Shaped by isostatic pressing, internal structure without defects, high sical strength;
3. Better oxidation resistance: Unique antioxidant design, and use high purity raw materials to protect grate, high oxidation resistance; Itâs 5~10 times of ordinary grate crucible.
4. Anti erosion: low porosity, special additives, effectively resist the corrosion of slag and other melts.
5. long life: Crucibleâs life can be 3-5times longer than normal grate crucible.
