Corundum Crucible

Corundum Crucible

Corundum is known for its high melting point, chemical resistance and thermal shock resistance – making it the ideal material to use for applications that involve high temperatures or corrosion-prone environments.

Corundum is known for its high melting point, chemical resistance and thermal shock resistance – making it the ideal material to use for applications that involve high temperatures or corrosion-prone environments.

Corundum crucibles are widely utilized across various industries such as metallurgy, chemistry and materials science. They are particularly well suited for melting and holding high temperature materials like metals alloys or ceramics at safe temperatures for melting purposes.

Corundum crucibles offer many advantages over their competition, including excellent thermal conductivity, resistance to chemical attacks from most molten metals and slags, rapid temperature changes without cracking under pressure, as well as their long lifespan compared to other types of crucibles.
