Baoji Freelong New Material Technology Development Co., Ltd. loated in Baoji City--China's Titanium Valley,we are mainly doing Zirconium,Titanium,Nickel,Niobium,Tantalum etc metal material and other alloy's produce,OEM and Sales.and also exporting the goods what we make. we have a lot of trustful clients and partner.and also we were authority by some firms.At present,we were build our relationship with Australia,Korea,German,US,UK,Malaysia,AZ,Middle East,Taiwan,Etc. Our company always take the quality and service as our responsibility,We always get close even match the quality what our customer wanted and as for quality,we never say no and no reason for quality failure

Zirconium crucibles (zirconium metal/zirconium oxide) are primarily used for melting, crystal growth, and reaction vessels in high-temperature, high-purity, and highly corrosive environments. With their four major advantages—high melting point (1852℃), chemical inertness, corrosion resistance, and thermal shock resistance—they are irreplaceable in semiconductors, metallurgy, photovoltaics, scientific research, and the nuclear industry.

I. Semiconductors and Electronics (Core Applications)
Single-crystal silicon/compound semiconductor crystal growth: Czochralski (CZ) method for growing single-crystal silicon, GaAs, SiC, sapphire, and YAG laser crystals, eliminating metal ion contamination and ensuring wafer/crystal purity and uniformity.

Chip manufacturing: High-purity reaction/supporting containers for high-temperature diffusion, ion implantation, and CVD/PVD thin film deposition.

Optical glass/specialty glass melting: Preparation of high-transmittance, low-impurity optical glass.

II. High-Temperature Metallurgy and Rare Metals
Vacuum melting of reactive/refractory metals: High-purity melting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, tantalum, niobium, tungsten, molybdenum, etc., without reacting with the molten metal, ensuring precise composition. High-Temperature Alloy/Special Alloy Casting: Smelting and forming of high-temperature alloys and corrosion-resistant alloys for aero-engines.

Rare Earth/Permanent Magnet Material Preparation: Sintering and smelting of rare earth permanent magnets such as NdFeB, reducing impurities and improving magnetic properties.

Precious Metal Refining: Purification and melting of precious metals such as platinum, palladium, gold, and silver.

III. Photovoltaic Industry
Silicon Smelting/Polycrystalline Silicon Ingot Casting: Melting of photovoltaic-grade silicon and casting of polycrystalline silicon ingots, suitable for large-size silicon wafer production.

Perovskite Cell R&D: High-temperature synthesis and sintering of new photovoltaic materials.

IV. Chemical and Special Materials
High-Temperature Reactions in Strongly Corrosive Media: Reaction vessels for harsh systems such as concentrated acids, concentrated alkalis, and molten salts.

High-Performance Ceramics/Composite Material Sintering: High-temperature sintering and forming of ceramics such as zirconium oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon carbide.

V. Scientific Research and Laboratories
High-purity material synthesis/thermal analysis: Differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), high-temperature solid-state reaction, standard containers for zone melting purification.

High-temperature treatment of special samples: High-temperature annealing and sintering of contamination-sensitive metal, ceramic, and semiconductor samples.

VI. Aerospace and Nuclear Industry
Aerospace: Smelting of high-temperature alloy components, preparation of rocket nozzles/reentry protection materials.

Nuclear Industry: Pretreatment of nuclear-grade zirconium materials, sintering and purification of nuclear fuel, separation of radioactive isotopes (low neutron absorption cross-section).

VII. Other Industrial Scenarios
Specialty Glass/Enamel: Smelting and forming of acid- and alkali-resistant glass and high-temperature enamel.

Electrolytic refining: Electrolytic purification of high-purity aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metals.

Quality Control and Testing

Each product undergoes rigorous inspection before shipment:

Dimensional Inspection: Precise measurement of thickness, length, and width

Chemical Composition and Mechanical Property Analysis: Third-party testing reports

Surface Inspection: Visual and microscopic inspection for defects

Ultrasonic Testing: Detection of internal defects

Grades: Zr702, Zr705, R60001, R60901

Capacity: 5–50 ml (custom fabrication based on drawings available)

Types: Low-form, flanged, straight-walled, tapered-wall, and cylindrical zirconium crucibles

Surface finish: Bright/Polished

Wall thickness: 1 mm, 2 mm, or customizable

Service life: Crucibles with 2 mm wall thickness offer a longer service life than thin-walled versions and can be reused over 100 times
 Highly resistant to most reagents
 Soluble in hydrofluoric acid
 Withstands temperatures up to 900°C
Low-form crucibles are made of zirconium alloy with a thickness of 0.89 mm. Oxidation begins upon prolonged exposure to air at temperatures above 550°C. Not recommended for use with fluoroboric acid or fluorosilicic acid. Suitable for high-temperature fusion in the reducing flame of a burner.
