Silicon Carbide Crucibles for Laboratory Glass and Foundry Use

Product Detail

Mascera offers high temperature ceramic crucibles made from pressureless sintered silicon carbide (SSiC), designed for extreme conditions in metallurgy, laboratories, and high-purity manufacturing. These silicon carbide crucibles combine high strength, excellent thermal shock resistance, and exceptional corrosion resistance, making them a reliable solution for high-temperature applications up to 1650°C.

Material Advantages of Silicon Carbide Ceramics

Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the hardest known ceramics. It delivers superior mechanical performance at both room and elevated temperatures. Key material properties include:

• High bending strength and fracture toughness

• Excellent oxidation and chemical resistance

• Low thermal expansion (4.0 × 10⁻⁶ /°C)

• High thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer

• Long-term structural stability up to 1650°C

• Outstanding wear resistance and low friction

Among all non-oxide ceramics, SiC offers the best combination of oxidation resistance and high-temperature mechanical performance. These characteristics make it especially suitable for high temperature ceramic crucibles used in industrial and laboratory crucible settings.

Applications of Silicon Carbide Crucibles

Laboratory Crucible
Mascera's laboratory crucibles are ideal for thermal analysis, calcination, pyrolysis, and material synthesis. As a specialized laboratory crucible, the silicon carbide crucible ensures consistent results even under repeated thermal cycling. The high thermal conductivity of silicon carbide crucibles allows fast and uniform heat distribution, reducing temperature gradients and minimizing contamination. Our laboratory crucible design ensures reliability and long service life, even in highly dynamic research environments.

Foundry Crucible
In metal casting applications, the foundry crucible made of SiC is widely used for melting stainless steel, copper alloys, and superalloys. The foundry crucible offers excellent resistance to thermal stress and molten metal corrosion. With high thermal efficiency and mechanical integrity, each foundry crucible improves operational uptime, reduces failure risks, and lowers energy costs. Mascera’s foundry crucibles are available in multiple sizes and are suitable for continuous industrial use.

Crucible for Glass Melting
Silicon carbide crucibles are also widely used as crucibles for glass melting, particularly in the production of photovoltaic-grade silicon and specialty glass. The high-temperature resistance and structural precision of each crucible for glass melting enable defect-free silicon crystal growth and high-quality glass formation. Whether in continuous furnaces or batch systems, a crucible for glass melting from Mascera ensures optimal thermal management and product consistency.
