About Precious Metal Crucibles

Crucibles can be used for melting and casting gold, silver, copper, brass and other metals. They are manufactured from quartz glass and withstand temperatures of up to 1371°C / 2500°F. Before use, the crucibles should be glazed with borax, thereby extending their operational life.

The melting crucible has a capacity of 12 T.oz. and is used for melting and casting gold, silver, copper and brass. It features a solid, thick and extra heavy base. Recognised coinage metals include gold and silver. Other valuable metals include the platinum group metals: Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Osmium, Iridium and Platinum, with Platinum being the most frequently traded.

Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) can supply precious metal crucibles meeting standard specifications. These include Iridium crucibles, Platinum crucibles and moulds, standard Platinum crucibles, Gold crucibles, Platinum tongs, standard crucibles (Au, Ag, Ir) and Platinum crucibles with volatile constituents.

Main Features of Precious Metal Crucibles:

Purity and Low Contamination: Precious metal crucibles are produced with refined precursors to limit contamination and preserve the integrity of materials during melting, alloying and processing.

High Temperature Endurance: The crucibles are engineered to remain stable at temperatures up to 1371°C / 2500°F. They maintain structural integrity during high-temperature procedures such as jewellery casting and alloy manufacture.

Manufacturing Precision: Experienced technicians manufacture the crucibles. Their workmanship meets the strict requirements for applications involving precious metals, gemstones and other high-value materials.

Chemical Inertness: The crucibles exhibit inert chemical properties. This prevents reactions between the crucible and processed materials, thereby preserving material purity and reducing contamination.

Versatility: Precious metal crucibles are employed in jewellery casting, gemstone casting, laboratory research and other specialised sectors. They are available in various sizes and configurations to meet specific requirements.

Applications of Precious Metal Crucibles:

Jewellery Casting: In the jewellery industry, crucibles are used for melting and casting precious metals. They enable precise temperature control during production.

Gemstone Processing: These crucibles facilitate the setting of gemstones during jewellery manufacture. Specific temperature control is maintained, thereby reducing contamination risks.

Advanced Research: Researchers use precious metal crucibles in experiments synthesising specialised materials and cultivating high-quality crystals.

Art Restoration: In art restoration, practitioners use these crucibles to produce custom alloys for repairs. The produced alloys meet exact compositional requirements.

Luxury Product Manufacturing: Manufacturers of items such as designer watches and luxury accessories use these crucibles to cast intricate components.

Quality Assurance in Precious Metal Crucibles :

The crucibles are sourced from recognised manufacturers that conform to established industry standards. They are supplied in accordance with strict specifications.
