Description

Zirconium Crucible Introduction

Zirconium (Zr) is a silver metal with a density of 6.52 g/cm3. Zr has a very small neutron adsorption cross-section and a relatively high melting point (1855 °C or 3371 °F). As zirconium has better mechanical strength at high temperatures than most other metals, zirconium crucibles are ideal for melting other metals. Compared with nickel crucibles, Zirconium crucibles cost more but have better cost-effectiveness as the number of fusions that can be made in a zirconium crucible is much higher than other metals. Zirconium crucible requires minimum care and won’t act as a catalyst for oxidation and reaction, unlike platinum. The corrosion resistance of Zirconium comes from a tightly adhered oxide, zirconia, which forms almost instantaneously. As a result, zirconium crucibles resist the corrosion of almost all acids, except hydrofluoric acid. Thus, HF is the only cleaning agent that should not be applied to zirconium crucibles.

Super useful. The package is tight and the shipping is fast.

by Nicole Zdany on Zirconium Crucible (Zr Crucible)

The high quality and reasonable price of the Zirconium Crucible are very suitable for our project. We will apply for bulk purchase in the future.
