Features
Manufactured from carefully
selected Graphite Flakes and Silicon Carbide, bonded with Eco-friendly Resin, offers the
following advantages:
Fuel Economy
The amount of fuel needed to melt in an ordinary crucible increases steadily as the
crucible oxidizes and looses speed. The constant high melting speed of our crucibles gives
substantial fuel saving in comparison to other crucibles.
High Thermal
Conductivity
Century crucibles are bonded with carbon type materials and leave behind the carbon bond.
This along with highly heat conducting inputs help to give high thermal conductivity,
resulting in very quick melting.
High Resistance to
Thermal Shock
Century crucibles have a highly refractory body. This along with low porosity, a low
coefficient of thermal expansion and a high thermal conductivity give excellent resistance
to thermal shock.
High Resistance to
Oxidation & Corrosion
Century crucibles are protected by an ultra complex system of multiple glazing. The
special chemicals in the body close the pores on all sides of the body forming an anti
corrosive coating which does not allow any oxidation and corrosion of the crucible body
thus prolonging the crucible life.
High Resistance to
Chemical Attack by Fluxes and Slags
Though graphite is chemically inert and resistant to corrosive chemicals, the bond is
susceptible to chemical attacks by fluxes and slags. Our crucibles made of chemically
inert graphite and silicon carbide and carbon resist attacks by alkaline fluxes used for
light alloys, the oxidizing /reducing fluxes used for copper alloys and the corrosive
slags formed from them. |
