Crucibles are suited for melting high purity metals.

Press Release Summary:




VX Crucibles operate under severe conditions including temperatures up to 1,450ºC and extreme thermal shock conditions. They offer thermal expansion of 6 x 10-7/°C at 1,000°C, low specific gravity, low thermal conductivity, and high electrical resistivity. Available in various shapes and sizes, products are suited for brazing, sintering, melting, and heat treating applications in dental, jewelry making, and metal brazing industries.



Original Press Release:



GBC Materials Offers Advanced Crucibles for Demanding High Temperature and Thermal Shock Conditions



Ideal for Dental, Jewelry Making and Metal Brazing Industries

The GBC Materials Division of Morgan Advanced Ceramics offers VX crucibles for melting high purity metals, such as gold, platinum and palladium. These crucibles are manufactured to provide durability, superior melt speed, and energy efficiency under severe conditions, including high temperatures up to 1450ºC and severe thermal shock conditions. The crucibles provide high performance across a variety of applications, including brazing, sintering, melting and heat treating applications in the dental, jewelry making and metal brazing industries.

Enduring severe thermal shock conditions that would typically shatter most conventional ceramic materials, VX crucibles are also well-matched for furnace and induction brazing, sintering and calcining of powders, and other processes that have rapid temperature changes. These crucibles offer extremely low thermal expansion (6 x 10-7 per degree C at 1000C) and provide low specific gravity, low thermal conductivity, and high electrical resistivity.

GBC Materials' VX crucibles are also known industry-wide as WESGO crucibles. The Wesgo Metals Division of Morgan Advanced Ceramics originally manufactured these crucibles, setting the industry standard and making the WESGO name synonymous with high quality and performance.

GBC Materials' VX crucibles are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. For more information please contact GBC Materials at gbcmaterials.sales@morganplc.com or 1-724-537-7791.
