As zirconium has better mechanical strength at high temperature than most other metals, zirconium crucibles are ideal for melting other metals. The corrosion resistance of Zirconium comes from a tightly adhered oxide, zirconia, which forms almost instantaneously.
As zirconium has better mechanical strength at high temperature than most other metals, zirconium crucibles are ideal for melting other metals. 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.
Advanced Refractory Metals supplies various kinds of zirconium crucible. Customization is available by your request.
