Precision Engineering of Silicon Carbide Clay Crucibles: Strategies for Uniform Microstructure and Thermal Stability
Introduction
Silicon Carbide (SiC) clay crucibles are high-performance refractory containers designed for extreme thermal and chemical environments. Combining the exceptional properties of silicon carbide with the plasticity and cost-effectiveness of clay binders, these crucibles are widely utilized in metallurgy, foundries, chemical processing, and high-temperature material synthesis.
