Product Overview
Boron nitride crucibles are made from a compound that consists of an equal number of boron and nitrogen atoms. They feature an extremely high melting point and exceptional temperature resistance, with a melting point of 2973°C. These crucibles can withstand operating temperatures up to 1900°C. With excellent corrosion resistance, low wettability, and high thermal conductivity, boron nitride crucibles are widely used in high-temperature treatments and crystal growth applications.
Key Features
