Magnesia crucible

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) crucibles have a fine-grained structure with low open porosity. The density is 3.45 g/cm3 with less than 1% open porosity.

This material contains 2% Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) to facilitate the sintering of Magnesium. Yttrium Oxide is completely inert and behaves similarly to MgO in all applications.

Magnesia crucibles have a mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance lower than those of Alumina crucibles. They require heating and cooling to be as homogeneous as possible.

They resist up to around 2000˚C.
