AC8737 Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Conical, 95%, 500 mL

Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Conical, 95%, 500 mL Description

Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Conical, 95%, 500 mL is a shaped ceramic item composed of 95% alumina (Al2O3), designed for high-temperature applications. The 500 mL capacity ensures adequate volume for laboratory-scale processes. Its mechanical properties, including a flexural strength of ≥300 MPa and a compressive strength of ~1800–2200 MPa, support its performance during thermal cycling. The defined thermal conductivity and electrical insulation characteristics address critical process requirements in thermal treatment and material synthesis.

Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Conical, 95%, 500 mL Packing

The crucible is packaged in a cushioned, anti-static container with moulded foam inserts to prevent movement and absorption of mechanical shocks during transit. The outer packaging is sealed to prevent contamination from dust or moisture. Storage instructions include maintaining an ambient, dry environment. Custom packaging is available to match specific handling protocols as required by the end-user.

Additional Information

Research in ceramic materials, particularly alumina-based components, has advanced the understanding of their behaviour under extreme conditions. Alumina's stability at elevated temperatures and its excellent electrical insulation properties make it a frequent choice in materials science applications. This product exemplifies the practical integration of controlled composition and refined processing techniques.

In materials science, the relationship between microstructural attributes and macroscopic performance is critical. Alumina crucibles are instrumental in processes requiring precise thermal management and chemical inertness, reinforcing their role in industrial and laboratory environments.
