Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Cylindrical, 99%, 2250 mL Packing

The crucible is packaged in a cushioned, anti-static foam-lined container to prevent mechanical damage and contamination during transit. Protective wraps and environmental seals are incorporated to guard against moisture and thermal shock. Storage in a dry, temperature-controlled setting is recommended. Custom packaging options are available based on handling requirements and destination regulations.

Additional Information

Alumina, with the chemical formula Al₂O₃, is a well-studied ceramic material known for its high melting point and dielectric properties. Its crystalline structure provides stability in applications involving thermal cycling and high mechanical loads. Research in ceramics often explores the balance between density, porosity, and strength, which directly impacts performance in high-temperature processing and industrial environments.

In materials science, the relationship between microstructure and macroscopic properties is critical. Alumina crucibles illustrate this balance, as their manufacturing processes target minimal defect densities while achieving uniform material characteristics. Understanding these fundamentals helps in selecting suitable materials for demanding thermal and chemical applications.
