Silica Stabilized Zirconia Crucible Description
Silica stabilized zirconia crucible is the solution when glassy or siliceous slags are present in your melt. Silica stabilized zirconia crucibles are often used for melting platinum-group alloys. Their strength and resistance to high temperatures make them right for those special “dirty refining” applications. These crucibles are made from a higher quality zircon material than standard zirconia crucibles, providing superior performance and extended life. 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.
