Description

Graphitized graphite crucibles, also known as lithium iron phosphate graphite crucibles, are mainly made of high purity graphite materials and are divided into window processing saggers and pressed saggers by production processes. They are often applied to the sintering of lithium iron phosphate battery anode materials and high temperature carbonization graphitization of cathode materials. They are used as vessels for loading cathode materials in high temperature sintering process. The graphite crucible with side wall opening avoids dust the phenomenon, improves the reducing high-temperature sintering atmosphere, and enhances the material properties. Graphite crucibles can also be used in non-ferrous metal smelting, such as copper, aluminum, zinc, silver and others, and as a place for gas reactions like N₂.
