Compared with alumina and graphite, silicon carbide crucibles have better thermal conductivity, stronger resistance to thermal shock, and higher corrosion resistance. These features can reduce product contamination, lower the chance of cracking, and make them last longer – all while helping save energy. SiC can stay structurally stable up to 1650°C, and its durability is often better than both graphite and alumina.
Under standard conditions, the lifespan ranges from 60 to 300 cycles, but this varies based on factors like usage frequency, exposure to corrosive environments, thermal cycling, crucible design, and mechanical damage.
– Control the speed of heating and cooling: We suggest a rate of no more than 5°C per minute.
– Clean out any leftover materials right after using it.
– Store it in a dry place to prevent it from absorbing moisture, which can make it weaker.
While the initial cost of a silicon carbide crucible may be higher than that of alumina, graphite, or clay crucibles, it has a longer service life, helps save energy, and works more efficiently. These benefits mean that over time, the overall cost is lower for long-term use.
