TUNGSTEN Crucibles (Available Sizes 5ml – 100ml)

TUNGSTEN Crucibles

Introduction:

TUNGSTEN crucibles are high-performance containers made from TUNGSTEN, a refractory metal renowned for its remarkable melting point (approximately 3,422°C or 6,192°F), exceptional strength, and resistance to thermal shock. These properties make TUNGSTEN crucibles ideal for a variety of applications that require high temperatures and inert environments. TUNGSTEN’s low thermal expansion and excellent thermal conductivity further enhance its suitability for demanding industrial processes.

Applications
