Our crucibles
The seller of 5L crucible claims "Ze zijn geschikt voor het smelten van metaal tot 1100°C". Silicium Carbide ( SiC) crucibles all over the internet are all rated up to 1500-1600 °C. No reason to believe that ours is any different. I suspect this is a non-techie way of saying, only non-ferrous metals. At Revspace we do not have the means of achieving temperatures above the rated max. If you are serious about melting cast iron or steel, you probably know what you are doing anyway ;)
How to use crucibles
- After pouring metal, *always completely* empty the crucible! Clean out as muhc slag as possible.
- Keep dry, only store back into the samla when completely cooled off
