Crucible
A casting crucible that holds and melts the alloy before it is thrown into the mould. The right crucible material keeps the alloy chemistry clean, which decides how the casting flows and how it behaves afterwards.

Key Benefits
- The right crucible material keeps the alloy chemistry clean, which decides how the casting flows and how it behaves afterwards.
- Casting machines with replacement springs listed as a spare part.
- Wax units, model trimmers, polishers, vibrators, sandblasters, casting machines, vacuum formers, ultrasonic cleaners, dust collectors and lab benches.
Problems It Solves
- Carbon pickup in alloys that cannot tolerate it
- Cross-contamination between alloy families
- Crucibles that crack after repeated cycles
Who It Is For
- Casting departments
- Laboratories running more than one alloy family
- Dealers supplying casting consumables
How It Compares
Graphite suits alloys that tolerate carbon; ceramic is required where carbon pickup must be avoided, including most base metal alloys.
Use Guide
Dedicate a crucible to one alloy family and mark it; swapping alloys in one crucible is the most common source of unexplained casting faults.
Where It Is Used
Casting crown and bridge frameworks
Partial denture framework casting in larger rings
Replacing a tired spring instead of the whole machine

Questions About Crucible
Which crucible for base metal alloys?
Ceramic. Graphite is for alloys that tolerate carbon, typically high-gold types. When in doubt, follow the alloy manufacturer's instruction.
