Application

 

Metallurgical Industry:

Metal Smelting: Molybdenum crucibles are used for melting high-melting-point metals like tungsten and tantalum. Ordinary crucibles cannot withstand such extreme temperatures, but molybdenum crucibles, with their melting point of 2630°C, handle it easily.

Alloy Preparation: When producing high-performance alloys, multiple metals must be melted and mixed uniformly at high temperatures. Molybdenum crucibles provide a stable high-temperature environment, ensuring even alloy composition.

 

Rare Earth Industry:

Rare Earth Extraction: Rare earth elements have unique physical and chemical properties and are widely used in electronics and optics. Their extraction requires high-temperature chemical reactions, where molybdenum crucibles offer reliable containment due to their heat and corrosion resistance.

Rare Earth Compound Preparation: Molybdenum crucibles are also used to produce rare earth compounds (e.g., oxides, fluorides). Their chemical inertness prevents unwanted reactions, ensuring process efficiency.

 

Solar Energy Industry:

Monocrystalline Silicon Growth: For solar cell production, molybdenum crucibles enable stable single-crystal silicon growth. Their thermal stability and low expansion ensure uniform temperatures, improving crystal quality and yield.

Polycrystalline Silicon Melting: In polycrystalline silicon production, molybdenum crucibles' high melting point and thermal conductivity ensure precise temperature control during melting and solidification, enhancing purity and quality.

 

Electronics Industry:

Semiconductor Material Preparation: High-purity materials like silicon and germanium are melted and refined in molybdenum crucibles, as purity directly impacts semiconductor performance.

Electronic Component Manufacturing: For devices like vacuum tubes, molybdenum crucibles provide stable high-temperature processing, ensuring component reliability.

 

Laboratory Research:

High-Temperature Experiments: In materials science, chemistry, and physics, molybdenum crucibles serve as ideal containers for heat-resistant and chemically stable testing.

Material Processing: They facilitate melting, purification, and reactions of refractory metals, alloys, and compounds under controlled high temperatures.

 

Crystal Growth:

Single-Crystal Production: For growing crystals like sapphire, silicon carbide, or gallium arsenide, molybdenum crucibles maintain temperature uniformity and stability.

Crystal Processing: During cutting, grinding, or polishing, they provide controlled heating to prepare crystals for further machining.

 

Glass Industry:

Glass Melting: Molybdenum crucibles withstand the intense heat and chemical corrosion of molten glass.

Glass Refining: Their thermal stability and conductivity aid in removing impurities and bubbles during refining.
