Graphite Melting Crucible – 1-1/2" Diameter x 1-1/2" Deep | Gold & Silver Casting

Small Size. Big Possibilities for Precious Metal Melting!

Whether you're melting recovered gold, recycling precious-metal jewelry scrap, or preparing silver for a small casting project, having the right crucible makes all the difference.

This 1-1/2" Graphite Melting Crucible is a compact melting cup for suitable small-scale gold, silver, and other compatible metalworking applications.

Graphite is widely used in metalworking because of its excellent thermal conductivity and high-temperature performance under appropriate conditions.

Its smaller size makes it a practical addition to a jeweler's workbench, gold prospecting equipment collection, or hobby metal-casting setup.

Key Features & Benefits

• Compact 1-1/2" Size: Convenient for small-scale metal melting projects.

• Graphite Construction: Excellent thermal conductivity for suitable high-temperature applications.

• Great for Gold Prospectors: Useful for melting properly prepared recovered placer gold.

• Jewelry Making Applications: Suitable for compatible precious-metal casting and fabrication work.

• Silver Recovery & Recycling: Useful for consolidating appropriate silver scrap into casting material.

• Small-Batch Melting: A practical option when working with relatively small quantities of metal.

• Reusable Crucible: Designed for repeated use when properly handled and maintained, although graphite crucibles are consumable components.

Perfect for Gold Prospectors

After recovering fine gold, flakes, and small nuggets from your prospecting adventures, you may eventually want to consolidate suitable material into a single button or ingot.

A compact graphite crucible can be useful for these small-scale melting projects when paired with appropriate equipment.

Whether you're working with placer gold from your sluice box or previously recovered precious-metal material, this crucible is a convenient accessory for a properly equipped melting station.

Important: Melting gold does not automatically refine it or establish its purity. Refining and assaying are separate processes.

Great for Jewelry Making & Precious Metal Recycling

Jewelry makers and hobby metalworkers frequently work with small quantities of gold, silver, and compatible casting materials.

Potential applications include:

• Melting compatible gold and silver casting grain

• Consolidating suitable precious-metal scrap

• Preparing metal for small ingot molds

• Small-scale jewelry fabrication

• Precious-metal casting projects

• Metalworking demonstrations in appropriately equipped workshops

Always verify compatibility with the specific metal, flux, heating method, and equipment being used.

Why Use a Graphite Crucible?

Excellent Heat Transfer

Graphite conducts heat efficiently, making it a useful material for appropriately designed melting equipment.

Compact Melting Container

The smaller dimensions make this crucible convenient for applications where a larger melting vessel is unnecessary.

Reusable Construction

With proper handling and care, graphite crucibles can withstand repeated melting cycles.

Versatile Metalworking Accessory

Useful for a range of compatible precious-metal melting and casting applications.

Product Specifications

Capacity Note: The maximum safe metal capacity has not been verified. The advertised dimensions do not establish the crucible's internal volume, wall thickness, or recommended fill level.

Proper Crucible Care

Graphite crucibles require appropriate preparation and handling to help maximize their useful life.

• Keep Completely Dry: Store in a clean, dry environment.

• Inspect Before Use: Check for cracks, chips, or significant deterioration.

• Use Compatible Equipment: Follow the crucible and furnace manufacturer's operating instructions.

• Avoid Thermal Shock: Follow appropriate heating and cooling procedures.

• Handle Carefully: Graphite is brittle and may crack if dropped or struck.

• Replace When Necessary: Discontinue use when the crucible becomes cracked, heavily eroded, or otherwise damaged.

Graphite crucibles gradually wear through oxidation, thermal cycling, chemical exposure, and handling. They should be considered consumable metalworking supplies.

What's Included?

• 1 × Graphite Melting Crucible – 1-1/2" Diameter x 1-1/2" Deep

Melting equipment, crucible tongs, precious metals, flux, ingot molds, and protective equipment are not included.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: Molten-metal work involves extreme heat and can cause severe burns, fire, and hazardous fume exposure.

• Wear appropriate heat-resistant protective clothing, gloves, and face protection.

• Never introduce water or damp materials into molten metal.

• Use only with compatible melting equipment.

• Work in a properly equipped, ventilated metalworking area.

• Use appropriate crucible tongs and handling tools.

• Never use a cracked or damaged crucible.

• Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from casting operations.

• Allow the crucible and metal to cool safely before handling.
