History of Graphite Crucibles

Crucibles are among the oldest man-made artifacts, with their usage dating back to the pre-Bronze Age (9000 BC). The need for crucibles arose as humans began utilizing metals for crafting household items, tools, and weapons. Early crucibles were fashioned from clay and vegetable fibers. Later, the addition of carbon to their composition enhanced their thermal resistance. The next significant technological advancement in crucible history involved the incorporation of silicon into their manufacturing process, granting them superior mechanical strength.

Evolution of Crucible Manufacturing Techniques:

1. Rib Forming: This method, akin to pottery making, was the first employed technology.

2. Roller Forming: The rising demand for crucibles and the need for larger crucible sizes necessitated this method. Crucibles are produced in this system using a rotating press cylinder.

3. Isostatic Pressing: Isostatic pressing is the most recent technological method, ensuring exceptional homogeneity in the microstructure of the materials used.
