Silicon Carbide Graphite Crucible

1. Core performance of silicon carbide (SiC)

High hardness and high mechanical strength: silicon carbide has a Mohs hardness of 9.5, second only to diamond, showing excellent wear resistance and impact resistance.

Excellent thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance: thermal conductivity up to 120-200 W/(m·K), can quickly and evenly conduct heat. Our crucible can work stably for a long time in the high temperature environment from **1600°C to 2000°C.

Oxidation resistance and chemical resistance: silicon carbide at high temperature to form a dense SiO2 protective layer, effectively prevent oxidation. It is suitable for harsh working conditions such as molten metal and corrosive slag.

2. Characteristics and functions of graphite

High conductivity and thermal conductivity: graphite has high thermal conductivity, which promotes rapid heat conduction and improves smelting efficiency.

Good thermal shock resistance: low thermal expansion coefficient, adapt to drastic temperature changes, reduce the risk of cracking.
