In this section we shortly like to give an overview on the materials we offer. We can manufacture these into crucibles, trays and other special shapes of different dimensions, geometries and sizes depending on the application. We would like to provide you with some short information on each material specific to the precious metal industry here. For further technical information, please approach us under the “contacts” section.
Silicon Carbide is often referred to as “salamander quartz” and can be processed in different ways depending on application.
Zirconia crucibles are made of zirconium dioxide powder put into a mold, stabilised with a small percentage of calcium or yttria, pressed into shape by hot isostatic pressing and annealed.
Quartz is a special kind of glass made from quartz sand with a very high purity of silicon dioxide.
