MU10098 Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 25mL

Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 25mL Description

Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 25mL is a container manufactured from high-purity molybdenum (element Mo) intended for operations involving extreme heat. Its density of approximately 10.3 g/cm³ ensures stable thermal mass, while a melting point of around 2620℃ provides resistance to thermal degradation. The mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of at least 830 MPa and yield strength of 690 MPa, maintain structural integrity during processing cycles. A minimum elongation of 6% confirms controlled ductility under strain.

Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 25mL Applications

Industrial Manufacturing
- Used as a container in metal melting systems to achieve high-temperature containment by leveraging its high melting point and mechanical strength.

Metallurgical Processes
- Applied as a reaction vessel in alloy synthesis to control contamination, utilising molybdenum’s inertness at elevated temperatures.

Material Testing
- Serves as a sample holder in high-temperature evaluations to ensure uniform thermal behaviour and accurate test outcomes.

Molybdenum Crucible, Mo Crucible 25mL Packing

The crucible is packaged in individually sealed, non-reactive containers and enclosed in anti-static wrapping to minimise contamination. Protective cushioning within a rigid outer box secures the unit during transit. Storage is recommended in a temperature-controlled, dry environment to preserve material properties. Custom packaging options, including sterilised and vacuum-sealed configurations, are available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What testing protocols are implemented to verify the crucible's mechanical properties?
A1: Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) conducts tensile and yield strength analyses accompanied by microscopic inspections to confirm uniformity and performance consistency. These procedures help monitor mechanical specifications necessary for high-temperature operations.

Q2: How can the customised dimensions impact application performance?
A2: Customised dimensions allow the crucible to fit specific processing equipment, ensuring optimal thermal contact and uniform heat distribution. Precise sizing can enhance process efficiency and minimise localised thermal stresses.

Q3: What storage conditions are recommended to maintain the crucible's integrity?
A3: The crucible should be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Maintaining stable conditions helps prevent oxidation and contamination, ensuring that the material properties remain unchanged over time.

Additional Information

Molybdenum is a refractory metal known for maintaining strength at elevated temperatures. Its use in crucibles and high-temperature vessels is supported by controlled alloying and sintering processes that minimise impurities. Research in high-temperature metallurgy emphasises the importance of microstructural uniformity for improved performance in processing and material synthesis.

In broader industrial applications, molybdenum components are assessed for their thermal and mechanical stability. Studies on refractory metals contribute to a deeper understanding of material behaviour under extreme conditions, aiding in the development of processes that require precise thermal management and structural integrity.
