A brief introduction of silicon carbide crucible
The silicon carbide crucible is a bowl shaped container with a deep ceramic bottom. When solid is heated by fire, crucible must be used, because it can withstand high temperature more than glassware. This is also the reason why the silicon carbide crucible is used by the public. First of all, the use of the silicon carbide crucible is introduced, hoping to help everyone.
The crucible usually does not fill the melt too much to prevent the heat from jumping out and allowing the air to pass in and out freely to allow for possible oxidation. Because the bottom of the crucible is very small, it is usually needed to be heated directly by the fire on the mud triangle. The crucible can be placed on the iron tripod by either positive or oblique, and can be set up according to the requirements of the experiment. The crucible must not be placed on the cold metal table immediately after heating so as to avoid its rupture due to rapid cooling. You can't put it on the wooden table immediately to avoid burning the desk or causing fire. The correct method is to cool the holder on the iron tripod or to cool it on the asbestos net.
In some solid in high temperature processing, we need to use the crucible, because compared to ordinary glass crucible can withstand higher temperatures, here mainly recommended silicon carbide crucible, following on from the North carbon graphite products manufacturers to introduce the industrial value of silicon carbide crucible.

Analysis of influence factors on performance of graphite crucible
The graphite crucibles were prepared with flake graphite, silicon carbide, silica and kaolin. The influence factors on the properties of samples were investigated. The results show that, with the increase of the silicon carbide content, the volume density of samples increases, the porosity decreases, the weight loss rate of the sample reduces and the antioxidant activity improves. Elevating the oxidation temperature and prolonging the oxidation time increase the weight loss rate of the sample, decrease the antioxidant activity. The microstructure analysis show that the compactness of the samples rises when the silicon carbide content and the sintering temperature increase.
The numerical simulation results show that the electromagnetic force and the flow distribution induced by the melt surface are significantly different when the coil position is different. When the coil is located at the upper side of the melt side, the induced electromagnetic force and flow are mainly concentrated in the upper part of the melt, and in the actual production and experiment, it is easy to appear the splash of liquid droplets, and increase the risk. The top of the air and the side mold respectively the heat conduction rate of the melt during solidification process are different. Therefore, when the coil is located at the upper side of the melt side, the precipitation of the grains on the top and side of the melt will occur in time, and the effect of the magnetic oscillation will be affected. And the free grains will move to a long distance to form the solidification structure and increase the possibility of melting the high temperature melt. The coil is located in the side of the lower part of the melt, induction of electromagnetic force and flow distribution in the melt can lower precipitation oscillation impact melt grain side and the bottom of the mold and the heat conduction and the bottom side of the melt rate, grain precipitation at the same time will be better vibration shock effect, nucleation rate get increased significantly. In addition, with the flow of the grain can be directly deposited on the bottom of the melt solidification structure refinement, reduce the high temperature melt melted in free process, the grain refinement effect will be better than in the upper part of the side of the coil.

3, remove the molten metal, the best use spoon to scoop out, to minimize the use of calipers, if using calipers and other tools should and crucible shapes consistent, to avoid local stress and shorten the service life. 4. The service life of the crucible is related to the use of the method. It should avoid the strong oxidizing flame directly spray to the crucible, and make the crucible raw material oxidation. Graphite crucible, because of its excellent performance, so in metallurgy, casting, mechanical, chemical and other industrial sectors, is widely used in the smelting of alloy tool steel and non-ferrous metals and alloys. And has good technical and economic results.
Crucible are divided into three categories: the first class copper crucible, its specification "," and; the second category for copper alloy crucible, the super round a number 100, round number 100, the crucible with a third steelmaking, number 100.
Crucible size , usually expressed in the order of size, 1 crucible with a volume of molten 1000g brass, the weight of 180g. The calculation of melting amount of crucible in melting of different metals or alloys can be used to calculate the bulk density of the crucible and to multiply the corresponding metal and alloy coefficients.
How to use the graphite crucible
Graphite crucible is widely used in casting but many customers don’t know how to use it correctly.
It is very significant for a new made graphite crucible to be conditioned before it is used. Using a graphite crucible correctly includes conditioning and storage. The crucible should be put in an oven at 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius) for two hours and then allowed to cool slowly in a dry situation. This keeps moisture from the crucible and prevents cracking. Crucibles should be kept away from moisture and should be re-conditioned if they get wet.
A graphite crucible should be cleaned completely when it is done being used. Metal should not be allowed to remain in the crucible to cool. Residual metal can expand and crack the crucible when it is reheated. Crucible tongs should be used that match the shape of the crucible. To prevent cracking, the tongs should hold the crucible without putting pressure on the sides.
Graphite crucibles can be damaged by improper use or handling. They should not be used for metals containing iron, because iron will react directly with the carbon in the crucible and will change the metal composition or destroy the crucible. Solid metals should be loosely packed in a crucible before it is heated. The metals might expand, and a tightly packed crucible can crack or fail. Water or damp metals should never be added to molten metal in a crucible, because that might cause a steam explosion or result in failure of the crucible.
