Our high-temperature sintered silicon carbide crucibles can withstand temperatures of up to 1,900 degrees Celsius (in a controlled atmosphere), offering excellent resistance to chemical erosion and thermal shock.
The ability to accommodate temperatures as high as 1,650°C, significantly above the melting point of most alloys, ensures the safe use of the product without the risk of contaminating the molten metal. Furthermore, our crucibles offer superior mechanical strength at very high temperatures, allowing them to be moved around safely for operations such as casting.
XICAR™ SSiC Sintered Silicon Carbide Crucibles are premium high-temperature technical ceramics manufactured from pressureless-sintered silicon carbide (SSiC). They deliver unmatched performance in the most demanding molten non-ferrous applications, withstanding 1700 °C in air and 1900 °C in controlled atmospheres. Ideal for zinc oxide distillation, melting copper, gold, aluminium, zinc alloys, and laboratory R&D processes where extreme heat, chemical erosion, and thermal shock resistance are critical.
These crucibles offer superior chemical corrosion resistance, high mechanical hardness, excellent thermal conductivity, and thermal stability – often equivalent to HEXOLOY® SE. Very large sizes are possible (up to Ø1525 mm and lengths to 3000 mm), making them suitable for industrial-scale melting while maintaining non-wetting properties and long service life with minimal maintenance.
Key advantages include:
They complement the full XICAR™ range (thermocouple tubes, custom components) and integrate seamlessly with Sialon ULTRA™ products in mixed foundry setups. Since 1986, Sialon Ceramics has specialised in these advanced materials for the molten non-ferrous industry. View XICAR™ SSiC Crucibles – custom shapes, sizes, and lids available on request. Quality warranty included.
Request a quote for any of the above – custom sizes, shapes and drawings are welcome. All products carry our standard 12-month warranty against chemical attack.
