MG1755 Magnesium Oxide Crucible

Description of Magnesium Oxide Crucible

Magnesium Oxide Crucibles are good for the application of ultrahigh-temperature processes up to 4000°F (2200°C). MgO crucible is a better alternative to Alumina (Al2O3) crucibles due to their superior chemical resistance and their inertness to metals, slags, and superconductor compounds.

When MgO Crucibles are used in lithium solid-state electrolyte synthesis or sintering, MgO has its own unique advantage of not reacting with Lithium unlike Al2O3 crucibles, therefore it maintains the lithium vapor pressure better without causing access lithium loss in the solid-state electrolyte.
