Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia Crucible Description
Magnesia stabilized zirconia exhibits superior resistance to thermal shock and erosion. It has low thermal expansion properties and excellent non-wetting characteristics. Magnesia stabilized zirconia crucibles are great refractory and insulating materials. They have a clean melt at temperatures above 1900°C and above and are specially manufactured for melting superalloys and precious metals. They also have excellent chemical inertness, superior thermal shock resistance to temperatures reaching up to 2200°C, and good corrosion resistance to acids and alkalis.

Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia Crucible Applications
1. High-Temperature Melting and Casting: Used in laboratories and industries for melting and casting metals and alloys at high temperatures, thanks to their high melting point and thermal stability.
2. Glass and Ceramic Processing: Employed in the production of specialty glasses and ceramics that require high purity and resistance to thermal shock.
3. Chemical Reactions: Utilized in chemical laboratories and industrial processes where materials must be heated to high temperatures without contamination.
4. Material Synthesis: Applied in the synthesis of advanced materials, such as single crystals and nanomaterials, due to their ability to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments.
5. Metal Refining: Used in the refining of metals, particularly those that are reactive or have high melting points, benefiting from their chemical inertness and thermal endurance.
6. Nuclear Industry: Integrated into processes requiring the handling of radioactive materials at high temperatures, leveraging their stability and resistance to corrosion.
Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia Crucible Packaging
Magnesia stabilized zirconia crucibles are clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.
