Nickel crucibles are high-temperature resistant containers made from high-purity nickel (Ni≥99.5%) through deep drawing, welding, precision machining, and heat treatment. Their core advantages are extremely strong alkali resistance, excellent thermal stability, and mechanical strength. They are key high-temperature vessels in the fields of chemical analysis, metallurgical smelting, and new material synthesis.
I. Core Materials and Grades
Mainstream Materials: Industrial pure nickel (Ni200/Ni201), high-purity nickel N0201 (Ni≥99.5%), N0200 (Ni≥99.9%)
Key Performance:
Melting Point: 1455℃
Recommended Long-Term Operating Temperature: ≤700-800℃ (strong oxidizing atmosphere); up to 1100℃ in inert/reducing atmosphere
Short-Term Withstand: 1200-1300℃
Density: 8.9g/cm³
Thermal Conductivity: 70-80 W/(m·K) at high temperatures, ensuring uniform heating
II. Product Features
Super Alkali Resistance: Highly stable against strong alkaline fluxes such as NaOH, KOH, Na₂O₂, and Na₂CO₃, making it the preferred container for alkali-melted samples.
High Temperature Resistance and Deformation Resistance: Low high-temperature creep rate, resistant to deformation and cracking under long-term heating, resulting in a long service life.
Dense and durable structure: Mostly integrally stretched, with uniform wall thickness, no sand holes, good airtightness, and high strength.
Easy to clean and reusable: Smooth surface, easy to clean after experiments, and can be reused multiple times.
Usage restrictions: Not resistant to strong acids (especially oxidizing acids), sulfur-containing substances, or borax.
Do not melt Al, Zn, Pb, Sn, or other metal salts (may cause crucible brittleness).
Do not use for strong oxidizing calcination of precipitates.
III. Specifications (Standard)
Volume: 5mL, 10mL, 15mL, 25mL, 30mL, 50mL, 100mL, 200mL (customizable up to 500mL and above)
Wall thickness: 0.5-1.2mm (laboratory); 1.5-5mm for industrial smelting
Shape: Tall type, low type (conical/cylindrical), standard matching nickel cap
Typical dimensions (50mL): Mouth diameter 45mm, base diameter 30mm, height 45mm, wall thickness... 1mm
IV. Main Application Areas
Chemical Analysis: Sample pretreatment using the alkali fusion method for ores, soils, ceramics, and refractory materials (geological, metallurgical, and building materials laboratories)
Metallurgical Industry: Small-batch smelting and purification of precious metals (gold, silver, platinum) and rare metals
New Material Synthesis: Crystal growth in alkaline environments at high temperatures, sintering of ceramic/oxide materials
Chemical and Energy Industries: Alkaline molten salt reactions, fuel cell material preparation, high-temperature synthesis of special catalysts
V. Usage and Maintenance Points
New Crucible Pretreatment: Ignite at 600℃ in a muffle furnace until blue-purple → Boil in dilute hydrochloric acid → Rinse with pure water
Temperature Control: Do not exceed 700℃ in a strong oxidizing atmosphere; avoid rapid temperature changes.
Cleaning: After experiments, boil in dilute acid (1:20 HCl) for cleaning; do not scrape the inner wall with hard objects.
VI. Quality Standards
Purity: Ni ≥ 99.5% (High-purity type ≥ 99.9%)
No cracks, no sand holes, uniform wall thickness, smooth surface
Pass alkali corrosion resistance test, meet thermal shock stability standards
