Unmatched Performance With Boron Nitride Crucible
High-purity laboratory crucibles are essential in industries like semiconductor manufacturing and materials research for producing consistent results, especially when working with liquid metals or toxic chemicals. Boron nitride crucible is an ideal solution for such demanding applications due to their outstanding chemical resistance, withstanding even the harshest acids without degradation or chemical reactions.
High-Temperature Stability
Boron nitride’s superior thermal stability enables it to withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for use as a crucible for melting metal and other high-temperature applications. Furthermore, its robust chemical resistance prevents most reactions with most molten metals as well as various chemicals like antimony trioxide, chromium seven oxide, molybdenum trioxide and arsenic trioxide which might otherwise occur with other materials like stainless steel.
boron nitride crucibles offer exceptional corrosion protection from most liquid metals and have low wettability for reduced contamination during sintering processes, making it suitable for reuse without risk of contamination or discoloration. They’re also moisture absorbent so should be stored in dry environments to ensure long-term performance; their excellent durability, chemical inertness, and electrical insulation properties make boron nitride an irreplaceable material in high-temperature and high-purity applications including metal processing, ceramic melt fabrication or semiconductor fabrication.
Chemical Inertness
Hexagonal boron nitride is chemically inert to molten metal, making it an excellent material to use as crucibles in metal smelting and casting processes without reacting with it, potentially adding impurities into the final product. Graphite can react during these processes and contribute impurities into your final product.
Boron nitride remains stable and inert to most molten metals, such as aluminum, nickel, copper and zinc. Furthermore, it resists oxidation – a problem often encountered in high temperature environments.
Boron nitride is an innovative metal designed for applications requiring extreme thermal stability, resistance to chemical reactions and non-wetting properties as well as exceptional metallurgical purity – creating unrivalled performance across many applications.
Flexibility
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is soft enough to be machined into almost any custom shape, making it the ideal material for creating customized crucibles for high-temperature processes. Furthermore, unlike graphite or ceramic materials that may crack under sudden temperature changes, hexagonal boron nitride’s resistance to thermal shock makes hBN an excellent crucible material choice.
hBN’s chemical inertness makes it an ideal material to use in reactive atmospheres, making it especially useful in metal melting and materials research applications. Furthermore, as it does not come in contact with liquid metal or corrosive chemicals that wet out material during manufacture or research processes, its wetting resistance ensures minimal contamination while safeguarding purity of synthesized materials; this feature is especially essential when working with sensitive compounds or alloys.
Thermal Shock Resistance
Boron nitride crucibles’ thermal shock resistance makes them suitable for high-temperature processes in harsh environments without risk of damage or contamination, thus prolonging their lifespan and prolonging process reliability.
Ceramic materials must withstand extreme temperatures with minimum deformation, and resist differential thermal expansion and distortion that occurs with other ceramic materials. This quality makes them suitable for industries like semiconductor manufacturing and materials research where high temperature environments may be needed.
Grade HP features a calcium borate binder to combat moisture issues found in other grades. This material excels when low thermal expansion, high thermal shock resistance and electrical insulation are required; making it suitable for many high-performance applications with tight tolerances. It’s machinable with precision as well.
Electrical Insulation
boron nitride crucible is highly durable, offering excellent thermal conductivity at elevated temperatures while withstanding chemical attacks from molten metals, rare earth materials, fluorides, glass, silicon, vapors and slag – an ideal material choice for oxygen sensitive applications. Boron nitride can withstand higher-temperature molten metals and slag without degrading, making it possible to work at higher temperatures while decreasing your processing costs.
