A crucible gives you a dish that can take direct flame without cracking, and this ceramic crucible is sized for our biggest melts.
Made from fused silica, this crucible handles precious metals up to 1537°C (2800°F), well past the melting point of gold, silver, and most casting alloys. At 96mm across and 30mm deep, it holds around 271g or 175dwt at a time, enough for large castings or bigger scrap melts without needing to work in batches.
We reach for a crucible like this one whenever we're melting a larger quantity of scrap metal down for casting grain. Shallow crucibles heat evenly and let you see what's happening as the metal melts, rather than working blind in a deep dish.
This crucible doesn't come with metal included, and it's sold on its own rather than as part of a kit, so it's worth having a look through our casting equipment range if you're setting up a full casting station.
If you don't already have a crucible holder, you'll need a Large WHIP Crucible Holder to use with this one safely.
