Durable Silicon Carbide Graphite Crucible

Made of silicon carbide graphite for superior durability and longer service life compared to traditional clay graphite crucibles. Engineered to withstand temperatures up to 1800°C (3272°F), according to the supplier's specifications, offering excellent performance under extreme conditions.

Suitable for melting a wide range of metals, including gold, silver, copper, brass, aluminum and more. Select suitable equipment and follow the metal and equipment manufacturers' operating limits.

Lifting and pouring tongs

The lifting tongs are used to remove the crucible from the furnace and return it after pouring. The pouring tongs provide better control while handling and pouring molten metal. The supplied tong fit range is for crucibles measuring 4″–5.25″ in diameter; crucible sizes in this listing refer to height, not diameter. Check that both tongs securely fit the crucible before use.

Care and safe use

• Store in a dry, well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture absorption.
• Handle with care; avoid dropping or impact.
• Follow the manufacturer's preheating procedure to remove residual moisture before use.
• During heating, apply flame to the base and avoid direct flame on the side walls.
• Load materials loosely and do not overfill. The supplier recommends filling only 60–80% to leave room for expansion and help prevent overflow.
• Follow the manufacturer's cleaning procedure after each melting session; residue becomes harder to remove as it cools and hardens.
• Hot surfaces and molten metal can cause severe burns and fire. Use appropriate foundry protective equipment and follow safe operating procedures.
