Clay Graphite Crucible #3 is a durable, high-performance crucible designed for melting and casting a variety of non-ferrous metals. Made from a precision-engineered mix of clay and graphite, this crucible ensures superior thermal conductivity, strength, and resistance to extreme temperatures.
Clay graphite crucibles are ideal for melting precious and base metals like gold, silver, copper, brass, bronze, and aluminum. These crucibles can withstand temperatures up to 1560°F (850°C) and are chemically stable, meaning they won’t react with or contaminate the molten metal. This non-reactive nature ensures clean melting and casting processes with minimal waste or oxidation.
Engineered for repeated use, the crucible’s dense composition resists cracking, erosion, and thermal shock. The smooth interior wall reduces sticking and facilitates clean pours, while the thick wall construction retains heat efficiently, shortening melting times and conserving energy.
Perfect for jewelry makers, small foundries, and metalworking professionals, the crucible’s compact #3 size offers ease of handling without sacrificing capacity. Whether you’re refining scrap metals, creating custom alloys, or performing routine melts, this crucible delivers consistent performance every time.
The crucible is compatible with propane, induction, resistance, and coal furnaces, and is designed for safe, reliable use under intense heat. Its ergonomic shape and optimized size make it ideal for small- to medium-volume operations.
