What is a Zirconia Crucible?
A zirconia crucible is a ceramic container made from stabilized zirconium oxide designed for high-temperature and corrosive environments. These zirconia ceramic crucibles withstand continuous use up to 2200°C while resisting chemical attack and thermal shock. They are widely applied in melting precious metals, sintering powders, and conducting thermal analysis.
Thanks to durability and chemical purity, Zirconia crucible tray and related forms are trusted in laboratories and industrial processes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Zirconia Crucibles
A zirconia crucible maintains structural stability up to 2200°C, preventing collapse during melting cycles. It also resists wetting by noble metals, reducing material loss. This makes it reliable for platinum, palladium, and high-value alloys.
Zirconia crucibles exhibit strong thermal shock resistance, tested across 30+ cycles from room temperature to 1000°C without cracking. This performance prevents process interruptions in laboratory and industrial furnaces. It ensures long service life under repeated operations.
Yes, a zirconia crucible shows high resistance to acids, alkalis, and molten salts. Its chemical stability protects both the crucible and the sample from contamination. This feature is critical in chemical analysis and catalyst preparation.
Arc shaped crucibles are used in reactors and furnaces requiring even heat distribution. They support material sintering where curved surfaces reduce stress concentration. These are common in research-scale and pilot plants.
Rectangular crucibles provide wide, flat surfaces that ensure even powder distribution during sintering. They are favored for consistent results in material science studies. Their geometry improves heating uniformity across small samples.
Yes, zirconia crucibles resist corrosive lithium compounds at 2000°C+. They are applied in calcination of cathode powders and sintering of anode materials. This reliability supports both R&D and production lines.
Round zirconia trays are widely used in dental labs for block sintering. Their smooth surfaces prevent micro-cracks in zirconia dental crowns. This ensures high precision in restorative ceramic production.
Service life depends on cycle intensity, but zirconia crucibles can endure 100+ thermal cycles in standard use. This durability reduces replacement frequency. It lowers total cost of ownership for industrial users.
