Graphite crucibles are widely used for melting non-ferrous metals, mainly copper and aluminum alloys. Below is a brief introduction to the characteristics and uses of graphite crucibles.
The design of the graphite furnace is reasonable, and its concept is constantly evolving. New materials are used, and experiments have shown that its energy consumption is lower than that of similar furnaces. Graphite furnaces can be used for various purposes and generate less polluting waste. Graphite furnaces can use clean energy as fuel, such as natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas, resulting in less pollution. The graphite crucible of a motorized furnace is mainly used for melting gold, silver, and rare metals, while the ceramic crucible is used for melting platinum, gold, and rare metals.
Graphite crucibles have a low coefficient of thermal expansion and can resist deformation caused by heat and cold. Graphite crucibles are also acid and alkali resistant and can be used for a wide range of fluid heating applications. Due to these reasons, graphite plates are widely used and appreciated in the metallurgical, casting, mechanical, and chemical industries.
Graphite crucibles are not only widely used in the aforementioned applications, but also in vacuum furnaces, greatly simplifying the design and manufacturing of vacuum furnaces, reducing the consumption of metals such as tungsten, molybdenum, and stainless steel, reducing costs, and providing high vacuum performance, thermal conductivity, safety, and reliability.
