Graphite crucible is made of natural flake graphite as the main raw material and plastic refractory clay or carbon as binder. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, strong thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance and long service life. It has strong corrosion resistance on acidic and alkaline solutions, has excellent chemical stability, and does not participate in any chemical reactions during the smelting process. The inner wall of the graphite crucible is smooth, and the melted metal liquid is not easy to leak and adhere to the inner wall of the crucible, so that the metal liquid has good fluidity and is suitable for various mold casting.
Request a quoteGraphite crucibles are made from a material that is highly resistant to heat and can withstand temperatures up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes them ideal for melting copper, which requires temperatures of around 1,984 degrees Fahrenheit. Graphite crucibles are also highly durable and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.
Why spouted graphite is suitable for melting copper?
Crucible is mainly used for melting metal. This type, graphite crucible with a spout, is an essential tool for melting copper. Copper is a highly conductive metal that requires high temperatures to melt, and a graphite crucible with a spout can withstand these high temperatures without cracking or breaking. We will discuss the benefits of using a graphite crucible with a spout for melting copper.
Benefits of using graphite with spout
The concrete benefits are following:
(1) The spout on a graphite crucible is an important feature that allows for easy pouring of the melted copper. The spout is designed to be narrow and precise, which helps to prevent spills and splashes during the pouring process. This is especially important when pouring molten copper, as it can be dangerous and cause severe burns if it comes into contact with skin.
(2) Another benefit of using a graphite crucible with a spout is that it allows for precise control over the pouring process. The spout can be used to control the flow of the melted copper, which is important when pouring it into a mold or casting. This helps to ensure that the copper is poured evenly and accurately, which can improve the quality of the final product.
It is also easy to clean and maintain. They can be cleaned with a soft brush and warm water, and should be dried thoroughly before use. Graphite crucibles should also be stored in a dry place to prevent moisture from accumulating, which can cause cracking and damage.
Applications of amorphous graphite
(1) Production mold: usually used for casting metal parts. The fine particle size of amorphous graphite allows it to be mixed with other materials, such as sand, to form molds. It is capable of producing smooth castings with excellent dimensional accuracy. It is easy to process, so it is easier to manufacture molds with complex shapes. The high carbon content of amorphous graphite helps to increase the strength of the mold, while its thermal conductivity helps ensure that heat is evenly distributed throughout the mold during the casting process.
Therefore, a spouted graphite crucible is an essential tool for melting copper.
Franli’s graphite crucibles are equipped with high-quality. It is highly resistant to heat, durable, and allows for precise control over the pouring process. The spout also helps to prevent spills and splashes, which can be dangerous when working with molten copper. With proper care and maintenance, a graphite crucible with a spout can last for many years and provide reliable performance for all your copper melting needs.
