molybdenum crucible is a high-performance container used for melting and processing materials at extremely high temperatures, especially in environments where corrosion resistance is also required. Molybdenum, with its high melting point (~2623°C or 4753°F) and excellent thermal conductivity, makes it a valuable material for crucibles in demanding industrial applications.
Key Features of Molybdenum Crucibles:
High Melting Point: Molybdenum can withstand temperatures exceeding 2600°C, making it suitable for melting metals like platinum, titanium, and rare earth metals.
Corrosion Resistance: It is highly resistant to corrosion in many environments, especially in non-oxidizing atmospheres and under vacuum conditions.
Thermal Conductivity: Molybdenum has excellent thermal conductivity, ensuring uniform heat distribution during the melting process.
Dimensional Stability: Molybdenum remains stable and retains its shape even at high temperatures, offering longevity and reducing the risk of contamination during melting.
Low Thermal Expansion: The low coefficient of thermal expansion of molybdenum reduces the risk of cracking or failure in extreme thermal conditions.
Applications:
Metal Smelting and Casting: Used for melting metals with high melting points, such as tantalum, niobium, tungsten, and rare earth metals.
Sapphire Crystal Growth: Crucibles made from molybdenum are used in the production of sapphire crystals, often employed in the electronics and optics industries.
Nuclear and Aerospace Industries: The high temperature and radiation resistance of molybdenum make it a good candidate for applications in these industries.
Glass and Ceramics: Molybdenum crucibles are employed in glass manufacturing processes, especially for technical glass materials.
Operating Conditions:
Molybdenum crucibles are typically used in vacuum or inert gas environments to prevent oxidation. In the presence of oxygen at high temperatures, molybdenum can oxidize, which is why protective atmospheres like argon or nitrogen are preferred.
Molybdenum crucibles provide excellent performance for industrial melting processes that require strength, temperature resistance, and long service life.
