MU10097 Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 15mL

Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 15mL Description

Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 15mL utilises refractory molybdenum (Mo) to provide a vessel capable of withstanding extreme thermal cycles. Its customised dimensions and melting point near 2620℃ support controlled metal melting operations. The tensile strength (≥830 MPa) and yield strength (≥690 MPa) ensure structural integrity under high temperatures. This crucible is suitable for small-scale processing and experimental setups in materials research and metallurgy.

Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 15mL Applications

Metallurgical Processing
- Used as a crucible in melting systems to achieve controlled heating by leveraging its high melting point, which minimises contamination and thermal degradation.
- Applied as a container for small-batch casting to maintain stable mechanical performance during repeated thermal cycling.

Laboratory Research
- Serves as a reaction vessel in high-temperature experiments to study molten metal behaviours by leveraging its defined tensile and yield strengths, ensuring minimal dimensional changes during operation.

Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 15mL Packing

The product is packaged in a rigid, anti-static container with foam padding to absorb mechanical shock. A sealed plastic pouch prevents contamination and moisture ingress. The packaging design supports temperature-controlled storage conditions, and customised options including compartmentalised trays and labelling are available to meet specific storage and handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do the mechanical properties affect high-temperature processing?
A1: The specified tensile and yield strengths support the crucible’s integrity during extended heating cycles and variable thermal loads, reducing deformation risks when in contact with molten metals.

Q2: What quality control measures are implemented during production?
A2: SAM utilises vacuum arc remelting followed by X-ray diffraction and metallographic analysis to verify the microstructure and mechanical properties, ensuring consistency across production batches.

Q3: Can the crucible dimensions be customised to suit specific applications?
A3: Yes, the dimensions are customisable to meet particular processing requirements, allowing the crucible to be adapted for varying batch sizes and specific research or industrial processes.

Additional Information

Refractory metals such as molybdenum play a crucial role in high-temperature environments due to their ability to maintain structural integrity under severe thermal conditions. Their use spans applications in advanced metallurgy and precision laboratory research, where accurate thermal and mechanical performance is necessary.

Understanding the interplay between melting point, tensile strength, and density is essential in materials selection for both experimental setups and continuous industrial processes. Such parameters ensure that systems operate efficiently and safely under demanding conditions.
