Silicon carbide crucible Suprex®

carbon-bonded

Suprex crucibles are carbon-bonded silicon carbide crucibles, which are characterized by excellent thermal conductivity and high chemical erosion resistance. Based on application and furnace type respective types of Suprex are available. Suprex® B: Recommended for copper and copper alloys in fuel fired furnaces. Suprex® R: Recommended for aluminium/aluminium alloys melting and zinc oxide producing in fuel fired furnaces. Suprex® E: Recommended for aluminium/aluminium alloys and zinc melting and holding in electric resistance furnaces. Suprex® Typical Metal Casting Temperature Suprex® B 800°C - 1400°C (1472°F - 2550°F). Suprex® R 700°C - 1000°C (1292°F - 1830°F). Suprex® E 450°C - 900°C (842°F - 1652°F). Suprex® E - Plus 450°C - 900°C (842°F - 1652°F). Fast melting speed through high consistent thermal conductivity. Excellent thermal shock resistance. High resistance to oxidation. Good erosion resistance. Good resistance to corrosive attack by chemical treatment agents. Suprex® B crucibles are finished with a brown coloured coating. Suprex® R crucibles are finished with a red coloured coating. Suprex® E crucibles are finished with a grey coloured coating. Suprex® E-Plus crucibles are finished with a grey coloured coating.
