XICRU™ SiC Silicon Carbide Aluminum & Zinc Crucibles

XICRU™ SiC Silicon Carbide Aluminum & Zinc Crucibles

XICRU™ SiC Silicon Carbide Aluminum & Zinc Crucibles

High-Performance Isostatic pressed  reinforced SiC-graphite matrix Crucibles for Aluminum & Zinc Alloy Smelting

Our Series NF Crucibles can tolerate severe temperatures without compromising structural uprightness for aluminum, aluminum alloys, and zinc alloy smelting. Over long operating cycles, these crucibles resist low-temperature oxidation and maintain strength. The iron-free composition prevents metal contamination in aluminum melts, which is fundamental for high-purity casting. These crucibles work well in coke-fired and gas-fired furnaces with a melting range of 620-920°C for many industrial applications. Thermal conductivity is improved by the silicon carbide-infused matrix, lowering heat-up times and energy utilization. Thermal stress cracking, frequent in crucibles with fast heating and cooling cycles, decreases by this arrangement. Lower thermal expansion coefficients avoid microfractures while raising service life and lowering costs. Slag adherence is minimized by the low-wettability surface chemistry, which renders cleaning more straightforward and limits downtime between smelting cycles. NF Series (Black): These crucibles undergo an initial application of an anti-oxidation coating, followed by an additional firing process to enhance durability and thermal stability.

XICRU™ NF Series (Black) SiC-Graphite Crucibles for Aluminium & Zinc Alloy Smelting – Anti-Oxidation Coating + Extra Firing, 620–920°C, Ø1525 mm Max

XICRU™ NF Series Crucibles are premium isostatic-pressed SiC-graphite matrix crucibles specially engineered for aluminium, aluminium alloys and zinc alloy smelting. The NF Series (Black) receives an initial anti-oxidation coating followed by an additional firing process that significantly enhances durability, thermal stability and resistance to low-temperature oxidation over long operating cycles.

The iron-free composition completely prevents metal contamination in high-purity aluminium melts. Excellent thermal conductivity (thanks to the SiC-infused matrix) reduces heat-up times and energy consumption, while the low thermal expansion coefficient (4.1×10⁻⁶/°C) eliminates microfractures and thermal stress cracking. The low-wettability surface minimises slag adherence, making cleaning easy and reducing downtime between melts.

These crucibles perform exceptionally well in coke-fired and gas-fired furnaces and are ideal for Striko Westomat dosing systems and high-purity casting lines. Maximum dimensions: Ø1525 mm × height 1050 mm – among the largest available.

Key advantages:

  • Tolerates severe temperatures without structural deformation
  • Maintains full strength over extended cycles
  • Improved energy efficiency and faster melting
  • Minimal maintenance and longest service life
