Clay Crucible
A clay crucible is a traditional refractory container made from high-purity fireclay, offering excellent thermal shock resistance and moderate chemical stability. It is widely used in melting non-ferrous metals (such as gold, silver, and aluminum) and in foundry applications. These crucibles are cost-effective and suitable for lower-temperature operations (typically up to 1200°C).
Key Features:
✔ Good thermal shock resistance
✔ Affordable and durable
✔ Ideal for small-scale metal casting
