SELECTION GUIDE

Choosing a Crucible Material

Alumina

Electrically insulating refractory ceramic for laboratory and furnace work.

Zirconia

Dense ceramic considered where toughness and thermal-processing requirements matter.

Boron Nitride

Machinable, electrically insulating ceramic for selected vacuum and thermal processes.

Silicon Carbide

Structural ceramic with useful thermal behavior for furnace applications.

Quartz / Fused Silica

Silica materials used in laboratory and thermal-processing equipment.

Graphite

Carbon material commonly considered for inert-atmosphere or vacuum work; suitability depends on the process.

Refractory Metals

Metallic options for selected vacuum and high-temperature applications. Confirm the configuration for your process during quotation.

CUSTOM CONFIGURATIONS

Custom Crucibles & Refractory Components

If a standard crucible does not meet your requirements, send us your material, dimensions, wall thickness, capacity or drawing. We can review lids, boats, trays, machined shapes, and research or production quantities.
