Alumina Crucible, Al2O3
Product Name
High-Purity Alumina Crucible (Al2O3)
Introduction to High-Purity Alumina Ceramic Crucible
The purity of High-Purity alumina material typically ranges from 95% to 99.7%.。Alumina crucibles are widely used in industrial production and laboratory environments. They are among the most commonly used ceramic crucibles due to their mature technology, well-balanced properties, and relatively economical cost. Alumina crucibles are suitable for use in medium- and high-frequency induction furnaces, electric furnaces, and vacuum furnaces, where they serve as heating containers.
In high-end metallurgy, alumina crucibles are often used as liners. To achieve higher purity in molten metals and prevent contamination caused by direct contact with alumina, high-purity alumina is required for crucible manufacturing. In some cases, additional plasma spraying is necessary. For example, when melting titanium alloys, a Y2O3 coating is applied to the inner surface of the crucible.
One of the main drawbacks of ceramic crucibles is their relatively low thermal shock resistance, which limits their lifespan and the number of uses.
