Premium 5kg Graphite Crucible with Ceramic Shield

Experience superior thermal performance and exceptional durability with our Premium 5kg Graphite Crucible. Engineered for professional metal casting, melting, and refining, this crucible combines the excellent heat conductivity of high-grade graphite with the structural integrity of a protective ceramic outer shell.

The dual-layer construction is designed to withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining its shape and preventing oxidation. The dense graphite interior ensures clean, uncontaminated melts for precious metals like gold, silver, copper, and aluminum, while the speckled ceramic exterior provides crucial insulation and protects the graphite from rapid degradation.

Key Features

  • Dual-Layer Construction: High-purity graphite inner lining paired with a durable ceramic outer shell for maximum lifespan.
  • 5kg Capacity: Perfectly sized for medium to large batch melting and casting projects.
  • Flanged Top: Designed with a sturdy 11mm thick top flange for secure lifting and pouring using crucible tongs.
  • Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance: Built to withstand rapid heating and cooling cycles without cracking.
  • Clean Melts: The smooth graphite interior minimizes metal adhesion and prevents contamination of your alloys.

Precise Dimensions

We know that precision matters when fitting a crucible to your furnace. Please verify these measurements against your equipment:

Capacity 5kg (approximate, depending on metal density)
Outside Height 155mm
Outside Body Diameter 104mm
Flange Outside Diameter 117mm
Flange Thickness 11mm
Inside Depth 130mm
Inside Diameter 73mm

Usage & Care Instructions

To maximize the lifespan of your crucible, always preheat it slowly to drive out any moisture before its first use. Store in a warm, dry place. Use properly fitted tongs that grip the body beneath the flange, never pinching the rim directly. Use a high-quality casting flux (like borax) to protect the graphite and your melt.

This works with various induction melters such as the Ultraflex, Galloni, Yasui, and other brands. Please double check dimensions to ensure an accurate fit before ordering.

Riley ★★★★★

The ceramic shield on this crucible really holds up; I've done three copper melts in a row with zero cracking. Handles the 5kg load easily and heats evenly.

Abigail ★★★★★

I've been melting silver in this thing every weekend for a month now, and the ceramic shield holds up way better than the bare graphite ones I used to burn through. The 5kg capacity is perfect for my larger pours, and it heats evenly without cracking at high temps.

Benjamin N. ★★★★★

The ceramic shield really keeps the heat contained, and the 5kg capacity is perfect for my medium-sized melts. I've already poured several copper bars with zero cracks or signs of wear.
