Their heat-resistant ceramic construction makes them suitable for use with precious and non-ferrous metals when preparing metal for pouring, alloying, or recycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• KEY POINTS •\u003cbr\u003e[Ceramic crucibles for melting metal]\u003cbr\u003e[Suitable for jewellery casting and refining]\u003cbr\u003e[Heat-resistant ceramic construction]\u003cbr\u003e[Pouring lip for controlled transfer]\u003cbr\u003e[Useful for gold, silver, copper, brass, and other suitable metals]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• MORE INFO •\u003cbr\u003eDesigned for melting and pouring work, ceramic crucibles are used to hold metal while it is heated with a torch or suitable melting setup. Once the metal reaches pouring temperature, the spout allows for more controlled transfer into an ingot mould, sand casting flask, or other appropriate casting mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese crucibles are useful for jewellers, students, hobbyists, and metalsmiths working with small-scale casting, scrap recycling, alloy preparation, and precious metal melting. The open bowl shape makes them easy to access with a torch and suitable for controlled bench work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS •\u003cbr\u003e[Product type: ceramic crucible]\u003cbr\u003e[Material: ceramic]\u003cbr\u003e[Design: open bowl with pouring lip]\u003cbr\u003e[Use: melting, pouring, alloying, refining, and recycling metal]\u003cbr\u003e[Suitable applications: jewellery making, goldsmithing, silversmithing, metal casting, and workshop use]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• USAGE \u0026amp; APPLICATIONS •\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for melting small amounts of gold, silver, copper, brass, bronze, and other suitable non-ferrous metals. Use with appropriate flux, tongs, torch equipment, ingot moulds, sand casting equipment, or other compatible casting tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese ceramic crucibles are especially useful for recycling jewellery scrap, preparing casting grain, melting metal for sand casting, pouring ingots, and small-scale jewellery fabrication work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• CARE \u0026amp; SAFETY •\u003cbr\u003eAlways use suitable melting equipment and heat-resistant safety gear. Ensure the crucible is dry before heating, and avoid sudden temperature changes where possible. The crucible will become extremely hot during use, so handle only with proper crucible tongs or heat-safe tools. Eye protection, gloves, protective clothing, closed footwear, and adequate ventilation are strongly recommended when melting or pouring metal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ore Metals","offers":[{"title":"30g","offer_id":47376292446370,"sku":"7T91","price":5.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60g","offer_id":47376292479138,"sku":"7T92","price":6.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"80g","offer_id":47376292511906,"sku":"7T93","price":7.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/5494\/6722\/files\/233_379eceb0-5a7c-4f5d-bb9e-f6f563f7bcba.jpg?v=1782912775","url":"https:\/\/ore-metals.com\/pl\/products\/ceramic-crucibles","provider":"Ore Metals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
