Application

Thermal analysis is a technique used to study the physical and chemical properties of materials as their temperature changes. It provides information on phase transitions, decompositions, reactions, and other thermal events. A corundum alumina crucible is a crucible made of either corundum or alumina (two forms of alumina). Corundum is a crystalline form of alumina, and these materials are known for their high melting point, excellent thermal stability and resistance to chemical attack. The use of corundum alumina crucibles in TGA/DTA experiments enables high temperature analysis of samples. Crucibles are used as containers for sample material and are able to withstand the high temperatures involved in the analysis. It provides a stable environment for the sample during heating and cooling cycles, ensuring accurate measurements and preventing contamination.

How are high-purity graphite crucibles made?

High-purity graphite crucibles are typically manufactured through a process called isostatic pressing. In this method, graphite powder is placed in a rubber mold, and then subjected to high pressure from all directions. This pressure compacts the graphite particles into a dense and uniform crucible shape. The crucible is then heated to a high temperature to remove any impurities and improve its purity.

What are the main types of thermal evaporation sources?

The main types of thermal evaporation sources include resistive evaporation sources, electron-beam evaporation sources, and flash evaporation sources. Each type uses different methods to heat the evaporant, such as resistive heating, electron beam heating, or direct contact with a hot surface.

How do thermal evaporation sources work?

Thermal evaporation sources work by passing electrical current through a resistive material, which heats up to high temperatures. This heat is transferred to the evaporant, causing it to melt and vaporize. The vapor then travels through a vacuum chamber and condenses onto a substrate, forming a thin film.

How should alumina crucibles be handled and maintained?

Proper handling and maintenance of alumina crucibles are crucial to ensure their longevity and optimal performance. When handling, it is important to avoid dropping or impacting the crucibles to prevent cracking or damage. They should be stored in a clean and dry environment to avoid contamination. Regular cleaning of the crucibles is necessary to remove any residual materials or impurities. This can be done using a soft brush, mild detergent, or solvents suitable for alumina. It is recommended to preheat the crucibles before use, especially when subjected to rapid temperature changes, to prevent thermal shock. Crucibles should be inspected for cracks, erosion, or other damage, and if any issues are found, they should be replaced to maintain the quality of the materials being processed. Following the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and handling is essential.

How can I choose the right ceramic crucible for my application?

When choosing a ceramic crucible for a specific application, several factors should be considered.
