A vessel or melting pot, composed of some very refractory substance, as clay, graphite, platinum, and used for melting and calcining substances which require a strong degree of heat, as metals, ores, etc.
A hollow place at the bottom of a furnace, to receive the melted metal.
A pot of receptacle made of refractory materials such as high temperature resisting alloys, graphite, alundrum, magnesia, or silicon carbide, bonded with clay or carbon, and used in melting or fusion of metals.
The container that is used to melt the bronze metal.
(der) Tiegel Crucibles are the containers in which metals are molten. They are often made of clay material. These are usually refractory enough to withstand the temperature shocks during melting and subsequent casting.
A ceramic pot or receptacle made of materials such as graphite or silicon carbide, with relatively high thermal conductivity, bonded with clay or carbon, and used in melting metals; sometimes applied to pots made of cast iron, steel, or wrought steel. The name derives from the cross (Crux) with which ancient alchemists adorned it.
A quartz vessel used for melting and crystallization of polysilicon when producing multiand monocrystalline silicon ingots.
a vessel made of material that does not melt easily; used for high temperature chemical reactions
a cauldron, which melts down the impurities of any metal
a container that can resist severe heat, or the bottom of an oven used to fuse or calcify metals
a container used to melt, hold and/or carry metals and alloys within a furnace
a container within which metals are subjected to extremely high temperatures
a cup-shaped piece of laboratory equipment used to contain chemical compounds when heating them to very high temperatures
a cup-shaped piece of laboratory equipment used tocontain chemical compounds when heating them to very hightemperatures
an earthenware pot that uses high temperature and pressure to heat metals
a pot in which metals are melted
a vessel used to hold ore during smelting or metal during melting
basic cup-style vessel that was used most often by an assayer
A heatproof vessel in which metal is made molten for pouring into a mold.
A thick-walled, white bowl-like container, usually made of quartz, in which a collection of material, such as polysilicon, is melted within a crystal puller.
(2) -- a vessel made to endure great heat, used for fusing metals (Oxford Dict.)
Glass is melted in crucibles, or melting pots, in the ovens. The crucibles are made by hand of Chamotte clay and must dry out 12 months before they can be used. Before a crucible can be placed in a glass oven, it must be warmed slowly to 1100 degrees Celsius (2012 degrees Fahrenheit) which takes about one week. The crucible weighs approximately 500 kilograms (1100 pounds) and can hold up to 750 kilograms (1650 pounds) of molten glass. Under use during the day, the crucible reaches a temperature of approximately 1200 degrees Celsius (2192 degrees Fahrenheit). The rest of the time the temperature is increased to 1420 degrees Celsius (2588 degrees Fahrenheit) to melt the raw materials into a workable mixture for the next day. The crucible can be used only 3-4 months after which it is discarded and replaced with a new one.
A high temperature, pot-shaped container used to melt glass in furnaces or kilns.
A crucible is a container in which raw materials can be heated to a high temperature, for example in glass making.
A vessel, usually of earthenware, made to endure great heat, used for fusing* metals, or for collecting molten metal.
Container made of substance highly resistant to great heat, for melting, fusing, heating or transferring molten material.
