Factors affecting the service life of graphite silicon carbide crucible

Silicon Carbide Graphite Crucible

Graphite silicon carbide crucible is an important high-temperature material composed of graphite and silicon carbide that can withstand extreme temperatures and chemical corrosion. These crucibles are widely used in chemical experiments, metallurgy, electronics and semiconductor industries. Although the cost is relatively high, they are known for their light weight, high temperature resistance and durability.

Factors affecting the service life of graphite silicon carbide crucible

  1. Working temperature: The higher the working temperature, the service life of the graphite silicon carbide crucible will be reduced due to the increase in thermal stress, and it will be more likely to break.
  2. Frequency of use: Each use will produce a certain degree of wear and corrosion. As the number of uses increases, the service life will be shortened.
  3. Chemical environment: The corrosion resistance of graphite silicon carbide crucible is different in different chemical environments. Exposure to highly corrosive environments will significantly shorten their service life.
  4. Usage: Incorrect usage, such as sudden heating or introduction of cold material, will affect the durability of the crucible.
  5. Adhesives: The presence of adherents or oxide layers in the crucible will affect its performance.

Service life assessment
The specific service life of graphite silicon carbide crucible varies according to the specific use environment. However, accurate assessment of service life requires actual use and test evaluation.

When using graphite silicon carbide crucibles, attention to usage, temperature, and chemical environment is critical to maximizing their service life. Our graphite silicon carbide crucible can be used for melting aluminum for 6-7 months and copper for about 3 months.

in conclusion
The service life of graphite silicon carbide crucible is affected by many factors. Proper usage, maintenance and regular evaluation are essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
