Molybdenum crucible and molybdenum boat
Molybdenum crucibles play a key role in the melting process of chemical materials, especially in high temperatures and extreme environments. Due to its unique properties, molybdenum is widely used to treat materials with high melting point and strong chemical activity. The following is the specific role of molybdenum crucible in molten ingot:
1. High temperature resistance
Molybdenum crucible and molybdenum boat have a melting point of up to 2620°C and can work stably at extremely high temperatures. In the process of melting ingots of chemical materials, the melting point of many metals and compounds is very high, and ordinary crucibles cannot withstand this temperature. The molybdenum crucible can easily cope with this situation, ensuring that the material can be fully melted at high temperatures.
2. Chemical inertness and corrosion resistance
Molybdenum crucible and molybdenum boat have good chemical stability at high temperatures, especially in vacuum or inert gas environments. In the process of melting ingots of chemical materials, molybdenum crucible can avoid reaction with the molten material or corrosion. This is particularly important for the preparation of high-purity materials, such as semiconductor materials, special alloys, etc. Molybdenum crucible can prevent the material from being contaminated.
3. Low vapor pressure
At high temperatures, the vapor pressure of Molybdenum crucible and molybdenum boat are very low, which means that even at high temperatures, molybdenum is not easily volatile. This is critical in the ingot process of chemical materials, especially for high purity and high precision material preparation, as volatilization of crucible materials can lead to material contamination or structural defects.
4. Thermal conductivity
Molybdenum crucible and molybdenum boat have good thermal conductivity, in the process of melting ingots, molybdenum crucible can effectively conduct heat, so that the material in the crucible is uniformly heated, and promote the uniform melting of the material. This is very important for obtaining a uniform melt and high quality ingot.
5. Thermal shock resistance
Molybdenum crucible and molybdenum boat showed good resistance to thermal shock during rapid heating and cooling. This is particularly important during the ingot melting process, as drastic changes in temperature can lead to cracking or deformation of the crucible material, and the high melting point and stability of molybdenum ensure its good structural integrity at high temperatures.
6. Reduce the introduction of impurities
The high purity and stability of the molybdenum crucible and molybdenum boat make it not introduce impurities into the melt during the ingot melting process. Therefore, it is often used in the preparation of high-purity metals, chemical materials and semiconductor materials, especially in demanding processes such as the growth of monocrystalline silicon or the preparation of superalloys.
7. Suitable for vacuum and inert atmosphere melting
Molybdenum crucible is usually used in vacuum or inert atmosphere melting environment, because in these conditions molybdenum has the best chemical stability. It can remain in these environments for a long time without being oxidized or corroded, ensuring the purity and quality of the melt material.
Sum up
Molybdenum crucible plays a role in the process of melting ingots of chemical materials mainly through its high temperature resistance, chemical inertness, low vapor pressure, good thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance. These characteristics ensure that the molybdenum crucible can work stably at high temperatures, and ensure the purity and structural quality of the material, suitable for handling extremely demanding chemical materials and special alloys.
