AC9845 Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Square, 95%, 500 mL

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

Alumina Crucible, Al2O3 Crucible Square, 95%, 500 mL utilises high-purity Al₂O₃ for thermal applications. The 500 mL volume suits various process vessels while the ~32 Kpsi tensile and ~300 Kpsi compressive strengths support structural integrity under stress. The thermal conductivity is measured at 25 W/(m·K) and the operating temperature limit is ≤1500 ℃, ensuring performance under rigorous thermal cycling. High volume resistivity (>10^14 Ohm·cm) further prevents electrical interference during processing.
