An iridium crucible is a container used for high-temperature experiments and molten metals, made of iridium metal. Iridium is a precious silver white metal with a very high melting point (approximately 2410C) and excellent corrosion resistance. Therefore, iridium crucibles are widely used in high-temperature experiments, melting, and other processes that need to withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive environments.

The production process of iridium crucibles is relatively complex and requires multiple steps:

1. Material preparation: The production of iridium crucibles requires highly pure iridium metal. Iridium is a rare metal that can be extracted from iridium ore. After extracting iridium metal, it needs to be refined and purified to ensure the quality of the crucible.

2. Crucible forming: Iridium metal has high hardness and brittleness, making it difficult to directly process into the shape of a crucible. Therefore, metal powder metallurgy methods are often used to prepare iridium crucibles. This method first mixes iridium powder with an organic binder to form a highly plastic iridium slurry. Then, use a mold to press the iridium slurry into the shape of a crucible. This step requires precise mold design and a high-pressure pressing process to ensure the accuracy and robustness of the crucible.

3. Sintering and heat treatment: Pre sintering the iridium crucible in the crucible mold to remove organic binders and enhance the structural stability of the crucible. After pre sintering, the crucible is subjected to high-temperature heat treatment to improve its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This step requires controlling the temperature and time of heat treatment to ensure the quality and performance of the crucible.

4. Surface treatment: The surface treatment of the iridium crucible is to further improve its corrosion resistance. Common surface treatment methods include electrochemical polishing, electroplating, and coating. These treatment methods can form a protective oxide layer or coating to protect the crucible from corrosion and oxidation.

5. Inspection and quality control: The completed iridium crucible needs to undergo strict inspection and quality control to ensure that it meets the specified standards. Common inspection methods include visual inspection, dimensional measurement, metallographic analysis, and mechanical property testing. Only by passing all inspection items can the quality and reliability of the iridium crucible be ensured.
