MOLYBDENUM Crucibles (Available Sizes 5ml – 100ml)

MOLYBDENUM Crucibles

Introduction:

MOLYBDENUM crucibles are specialized containers made from MOLYBDENUM, a refractory metal known for its exceptional thermal conductivity, high melting point (approximately 2,623°C or 4,753°F), and resistance to thermal shock. These properties make MOLYBDENUM crucibles highly suitable for various demanding applications, particularly in high-temperature and corrosive environments. Their ability to maintain structural integrity under extreme conditions is crucial for industries requiring precision and reliability.
