Magnesium Oxide Cupel

Magnesium Oxide Cupel
Magnesium Oxide Cupel is a high-purity refractory container designed for use in fire assay and precious metal analysis. Made from dense magnesium oxide, it can withstand extreme temperatures without cracking or deforming, ensuring accurate and consistent melting and refining of samples. Its excellent thermal stability and resistance to chemical corrosion make it suitable for use with gold, silver, and other noble metals. The cupel effectively absorbs oxidized impurities during the assay process, maintaining clean separation and reliable analytical results. We can supply high-quality magnesium oxide cupels with various specifications and competitive prices, offering customized solutions to meet specific requirements.

Magnesium Oxide Cupel Description
Magnesium Oxide Cupel is produced from premium-grade raw materials with a unique formulation containing about 96% magnesium oxide and 4% fluxing agents. This composition allows it to absorb more lead oxide than traditional bone ash cupels, resulting in excellent porosity, mechanical strength, and consistent performance. During fire assay and cupellation, the cupel effectively absorbs lead oxide without splashing, leaving behind high-purity gold and silver alloy grains. It maintains structural integrity without cracking or pitting at high temperatures and remains unaffected by humidity or freezing conditions. After use, the precious metal grains can be easily separated from the cupel surface.

Magnesium Oxide Material Properties
Mecanizado cerámico de óxido de magnesio

El óxido de magnesio puede mecanizarse en estado verde o bizcocho antes de la sinterización y, en menor medida, en su estado totalmente sinterizado. En su estado presinterizado, el material es relativamente blando y más fácil de moldear, pero como muchas cerámicaEl óxido de magnesio sinterizado es muy duro y quebradizo, por lo que requiere herramientas de diamante y equipos de precisión para cualquier mecanizado posterior a la sinterización. El óxido de magnesio totalmente sinterizado es muy duro y quebradizo, por lo que requiere herramientas de diamante y equipos de precisión para cualquier mecanizado posterior a la sinterización.
Métodos de mecanizado y consideraciones
- Mecanizado en verde o bizcocho: Más fácil de cortar y moldear, adecuado para formas complejas antes de la cocción.
- Contracción por sinterización: Se espera una reducción dimensional de unos 15-20% durante la sinterización, lo que repercute en el control de la tolerancia.
- Mecanizado posterior a la sinterización: Requiere herramientas de rectificado de diamante debido a la dureza y fragilidad del material.
- Fragilidad: El MgO totalmente sinterizado es propenso a astillarse y fracturarse si no se manipula con cuidado durante el mecanizado.
- Herramientas y tiempo: El mecanizado de cerámicas densas de MgO requiere mucho tiempo y equipos especializados.
Envases cerámicos de óxido de magnesio
Los productos cerámicos de óxido de magnesio suelen envasarse en bolsas selladas al vacío para evitar la humedad o la contaminación y se envuelven con espuma para amortiguar las vibraciones y los impactos durante el transporte, lo que garantiza la calidad de los productos en su estado original.
