A modern crucible used in the production of silicon ingots via the Czochralski process Smaller clay graphite crucibles for copper alloy melting. A crucible is a container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures.
Since crucible tongs work with the crucible, one must know the safety procedures of the crucible. Before using the crucible, make sure that it is dry; Fill the crucible with sample chemicals to only 1/2 or 2/3, do not fill until it is full; If the user used the crucible to fuse the glass, waiting for the crucible to cool down before cleaning it

Crucible steel sequesters the raw input materials from the heat source, allowing precise control of carburization (raising) or decarburization (lowering carbon content). Fluxes, such as limestone, could be added to the crucible to remove or promote sulfur, silicon, and other impurities, further altering its material qualities.
