1. Working principle of high-temperature crucible furnace:

The high-temperature crucible furnace is mainly composed of the furnace body, heating system, crucible, temperature control system, and other parts. The furnace body is usually made of high-temperature resistant materials, such as refractory bricks or special ceramic materials, which can withstand thermal shock and chemical erosion at high temperatures. Heating systems usually use electric or gas heating methods, which transfer heat to the crucible through heating elements. As a melting vessel, crucibles are usually made of high-purity refractory materials such as graphite, quartz, or alumina to ensure that they are not easily deformed or melted at high temperatures. The temperature control system is used to precisely control the temperature inside the furnace, ensuring the stability and reliability of the smelting process.
