Application of Tungsten Crucible in the Preparation of Superalloys

tungsten crucible picture

Superalloy is a kind of alloy material that can maintain excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in a high-temperature environment, and is widely used in aerospace, gas turbine, nuclear energy equipment and other fields. Due to the generally high melting point of superalloys, some even exceeding 1500 °C, the preparation process puts forward extremely strict requirements for the high temperature resistance, chemical stability and structural strength of the container material.

Corrosion Resistance of Tungsten Crucible and Improvement Methods

tungsten crucible picture

In some special high-temperature atmospheres or melt environments, tungsten crucibles still face a certain degree of corrosion problems. Corrosion not only affects the service life of the crucible, but can also contaminate the material being treated and reduce product quality. Therefore, improving the corrosion resistance of the crucible is the key to improving its comprehensive performance and prolonging the service life. In this paper, the corrosion mechanism, influencing factors and main improvement methods are systematically analyzed and discussed.
