10-Compartment Semi-Circular Alumina Boat Crucible for Tube Furnace

This semi-circular alumina boat is designed with 10 divided compartments, allowing for simultaneous testing or processing of multiple samples. Manufactured from high-purity alumina (Al₂O₃ > 99%), it offers excellent thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength.

Ideal for tube furnaces with an inner diameter larger than 46 mm, this crucible ensures long-term durability under demanding thermal conditions, suitable for continuous use at temperatures up to 1600°C.

Package: 1 piece per pack

Usage Precautions for 99% Alumina Crucibles

1. Pre-drying: Before first use, dry the crucible in an oven at approximately 105°C for 2 hours to remove moisture.

2. Avoid Direct Flame: Do not heat directly with gasoline torches, acetylene torches, or alcohol lamps, as uneven heating may cause cracking.

3. Keep Distance from Heating Elements: Maintain at least a 2 cm gap between the crucible and heating components (e.g., carbon tubes, SiC rods, heating wires).

4. Control Heating/Cooling Rate:

   • Below 1200°C: ≤ 5°C per minute

   • Above 1200°C: ≤ 4°C per minute

   • Use controlled power cooling; avoid switching off power abruptly at high temperatures.

5. For Large Crucibles: Avoid direct contact with the furnace floor. Place the crucible on high-temperature-resistant supports (e.g., corundum plates) to enhance air convection and extend service life.
