The three types of crucible furnaces are stationary, tilting, and movable.
1. Stationary crucible furnaces: These furnaces have a fixed position and cannot be tilted or moved. They are commonly used in small-scale projects and traditional settings. Stationary crucible furnaces typically have a refractory crucible where the material to be heated is placed. Heat is generated either through a gas burner or electric heating elements.
2. Tilting crucible furnaces: These furnaces have the ability to tilt the crucible, allowing for easy pouring of the molten metal. Tilting crucible furnaces are commonly used in industrial applications. They also have a refractory crucible and use gas-fired burners or electric heating elements for heating.
3. Movable crucible furnaces: These furnaces are designed to be easily moved or transported. They are often used in situations where mobility is required, such as in remote locations or on construction sites. Movable crucible furnaces can have either a stationary or tilting design.
Overall, crucible furnaces are used for melting and casting metals with low melting points, such as brass, bronze, and aluminum. The crucible, made of heat-resistant materials like graphite, clay, or ceramic, holds the metal to be melted. The furnace chamber, made of refractory material, is heated by a fuel source like natural gas, propane, or electricity. Once the metal inside the crucible is melted, it can be poured into molds to create various shapes and forms.
