Boron nitride crucible

Boron nitride crucibles, have you heard of them? They're the beakers from your high school science lab. These high, thick containers are used by scientists to keep very hot materials in so that they do not burn us. I chose to work with boron nitride crucibles as they can sustain very high temperatures without melting or shattering. This Weiert Ceramics boron nitride products can be helpful in a variety of different experiments.

Something really neat to know about boron nitride crucibles is that they are very pure. What does that mean? This means that it is formed only of the boron nitride, no other materials are mixed in with this particular material. For scientists this is crucial because they do not want any contamination in the materials that are exactly what they do. Scientists need to know that nothing will interfere with their results as they experiment. The presence of impurities in the materials can also affect how the experiments turn out.

A Reliable Solution for Melting Precious Metals

Boron nitride crucibles can also be used for melting valuable precious metals such as gold or silver. So why should we use specific containers for those metals? Because as being melted at very high temperatures, need container that can withstand this, for these metals. Breaking containers could be dangerous, especially when they cannot handle the heat.

One other nice feature of boron nitride crucibles would be that they are internally very well-polished. What this translates into is that when the metal melts it does not adhere to the walls of its post. Scientists are able to recover the metal more easily when it cools down. The melted metal has to be removed and retrieved, as it is costly for the scientists who will need melt more.
