High Temperature Crucibles
Plasma has been a leading supplier of high-temperature crucibles across the industry for quite some time. Plasma Processes fabricates high-purity,seamless crucibles with uniform structure, one-piece construction and flexible sizes and shapes. Net-shape EL-Formâ„¢ and Vacuum Plasma Spray (VPS) crucibles are custom fabricated to design specification for demanding high-temperature environments. Fabrication materials include platinum and refractory group metals (iridium, rhenium, tungsten, olybdenum, niobium), their alloys, and multi-layer composite structures. Some of the advantages include:
- Seamless; No weld joints
- No internal stresses
- Longer service life
- Rapid manufacturing
- Competitive costs
- Repairable
Purity
Plasma Processes crucible metals typically reo at 99.9% purity. Higher purities can be supplied for certain applications.
Flexible Sizes and Shapes
Crucibles up to 12″ in diameter can be formed by our electrodeposition technique with no limitations on wall thickness. Custom shapes, including radial, hemispherical and conical bottoms, integral seed holders, and tapered wall thicknesses are available. We also provide accessories such as seed holders, dies, tubing, and capillaries. For custom crucibles, we have done things like unlimited coating material compositions and even components up to 4 feet diameter x 6 feet in height.
