Molybdenum Crucible

Molybdenum crucible is essential in industries where high temperature and corrosion resistance are vital.

Molybdenum Crucible Properties

High Melting Point: Molybdenum melts at about 2623°C (4753°F), suitable for high-temperature applications.
Thermal Conductivity: Good thermal conductivity ensures uniform heating.
Low Thermal Expansion: Molybdenum has a low expansion rate, maintaining stability under temperature fluctuations.
Corrosion Resistance: It resists corrosion, especially at high temperatures, which is crucial in many chemical processes.

Molybdenum Crucible Dimensions

Diameter: 10 – 700mm
Height: 25 – 900mm
Wall Thickness: 3-30mm
Volume Capacity: Laboratory crucibles might hold a few milliliters, while industrial ones could accommodate several liters.

Applications

Metal Melting: Suitable for melting metals with high melting points.
Crystal Growth Processes: Used for growing single crystals, such as sapphire, for lasers or electronics.
Sintering Operations: In powder metallurgy, molybdenum crucibles are used for high-temperature sintering that forms solid pieces from powder.
Nuclear Energy: Its resistance to radiation damage makes it an option for nuclear applications.
