Boron Nitride crucibles are high-temperature containers made from Boron Nitride ceramic material. They are used for melting, casting, and processing various metals and alloys, as well as for high-temperature chemical reactions. Boron Nitride crucibles are known for their excellent thermal shock resistance, high temperature stability, and low wettability by many molten metals and alloys.
