Reasons why bubbles appear in graphite crucibles during manufacturing

Dec29,23

The presence of bubbles in the manufacturing process of graphite crucibles can be attributed to various factors, depending on the manufacturing process and the graphite materials used. Here are some common reasons why bubbles may occur during the manufacturing of graphite crucibles:

1.Gas in Raw Materials: During the manufacturing process of graphite crucibles, raw materials may contain gases, which are released at high temperatures, forming bubbles.

2.Vibration during Manufacturing: Vibrations or stirring during the manufacturing process may introduce air, leading to the formation of bubbles.

3.Non-uniform Material Mixing: Non-uniform mixing can result in concentration differences within the graphite crucible, leading to the formation of bubbles.

4.Differences in Graphite Particle Sizes: Large differences in the sizes of graphite particles may result in the formation of voids within the crucible.

5.Compression and Extrusion Processes: During the manufacturing of graphite crucibles, compression and extrusion processes may force graphite into the crucible, forming bubbles.

6.Purity of Graphite Material: Low-purity graphite materials may contain other gases or impurities, which can be released during the manufacturing process, forming bubbles.

7.Improper Sintering Temperature and Time: Inadequate control of sintering temperature and time may prevent complete gas elimination from the graphite crucible, leading to bubble formation.

8.Design Issues with Graphite Crucibles: Design problems, such as improper shape or uneven wall thickness, may contribute to the formation of bubbles.

To address these issues, manufacturers often take measures such as improving manufacturing processes, using high-purity graphite materials, and precisely controlling sintering parameters to minimize or eliminate bubbles in graphite crucibles.
