What is an iridium crucible? Recovery of Iridium Crucibles

What is an iridium crucible?

Iridium crucible is a high-temperature and corrosion-resistant metal crucible, mainly composed of metals such as iridium and tantalum. Iridium crucibles can withstand the erosion of high temperature and Corrosive substance due to its high melting point, high strength and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in high-temperature chemical reaction, high-temperature melting treatment, semiconductor manufacturing, nuclear energy industry and other fields. Iridium crucibles are usually cylindrical in shape, with smooth external surface and rough internal surface. They are used to carry high-temperature, Corrosive substance in the reaction process. The manufacturing process of iridium crucibles is complex, requiring the use of high-end production equipment and technology, which requires high technical and management levels of personnel. In addition, the manufacturing cost of iridium crucibles is relatively high and the price is relatively expensive.

Application Fields of Iridium Crucibles

1. High temperature chemical reaction: Iridium crucible can withstand the erosion of high temperature and Corrosive substance, and is often used in the laboratory of high temperature chemical reaction, such as sintering reaction, high temperature reduction reaction, high temperature oxidation reaction, etc.

2. High temperature melting treatment: The high melting point and corrosion resistance of iridium crucibles make them ideal containers for high-temperature melting treatment, such as melting treatment of materials such as metals, ceramics, glass, etc.

3. Semiconductor manufacturing: Iridium crucibles are widely used in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, such as crystal growth, oxide melting, and other processes, which require the use of high-temperature crucibles to maintain high temperatures and protect materials.

4. Nuclear energy industry: Iridium crucibles are widely used in the nuclear energy industry, such as in the production and processing of nuclear fuel, which requires the use of high-temperature crucibles to carry and protect nuclear fuel materials.

The recycling and preservation of iridium crucibles should pay attention to the following points:

1. Avoiding collision: Iridium crucibles have undergone multiple cold and hot deformation processes during the manufacturing process, resulting in high strength. However, collision still needs to be avoided to prevent cracks or damage.

2. Avoid moisture: When storing iridium crucibles, it is necessary to avoid moisture to prevent rusting or oxidation, which may affect their service life.

3. Regular cleaning: Iridium crucibles may have some dirt and impurities during use, and should be cleaned regularly to ensure their quality and performance.

4. Avoid high temperature and chemical corrosion: Iridium crucibles need to avoid high temperature and chemical corrosion during use and storage to avoid affecting their performance and lifespan.

5. Storage environment: The storage environment for iridium crucibles should be kept dry, ventilated, and free of acid or alkali gases to prevent affecting their performance.

6. Storage location: The storage location of the iridium crucible should be fixed and placed in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid vibration and collision.
