Silica crucibles, also known as crucibles made from quartz, are transparent metal melting crucibles optimized to provide refractories with a refined metal cast. These glass-like crucibles can be used to melt ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Silica crucibles are long-lasting. They provide a unique surface finish from a melting process not reliant on lubricants. Compared with graphite crucibles, silica does not offer the smooth and corrosion free casting process graphite crucibles provide. From the bench jewelers to foundry owners, melting laboratories, ferrous and non-ferrous casting companies, etc.—silica crucibles are used in multiple industries.
