Silicon nitride crucible (alias: Laboratory Melting Crucible) is designed for laboratory and high temperature industrial applications for
conducting melting and chemical experiments. The excellent physical and thermal properties of silicon nitride (Si3N4) make it ideal for
handling high-temperature materials.
Advantages of silicon nitride crucible products:
High temperature resistance: The silicon nitride material can withstand temperatures up to 1200°C, and its high thermal stability and heat
resistance ensure reliable use in extreme conditions.
Corrosion resistance: Silicon nitride has extremely high corrosion resistance to a variety of chemicals and is suitable for handling a variety of
chemical reactions, including acidic and alkaline substances.
Thermal shock stability: It has extremely high thermal shock stability (△T℃ 500) and can withstand rapid temperature changes without
cracking or damage.
Structural design: Crucibles are usually designed with center holes and other shapes to adapt to specific assembly requirements, increase
versatility and improve experimental flexibility.
Physical strength: High bending strength (600 Mpa) and compression strength (2500 Mpa) ensure shape and function under physical load.
