How to Reduce Powder Agglomeration During High-Temperature Calcination?

Powder Agglomeration During High-Temperature Calcination

A rotary or rocking tube furnace can provide an additional advantage by continuously redistributing the powder during thermal processing, helping reduce prolonged localized contact and improve exposure to heat and process gases.

Why Do Alumina Crucibles Crack During Sintering? | Analysis & Practical Solutions

Square Alumina Ceramic Crucible Boat-2

Alumina crucibles (Al₂O₃) are widely used in high-temperature applications such as ceramic sintering, metal melting, and powder heat treatment thanks to their excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance.
However, users often encounter cracking issues during use, which can lead to wasted materials, failed experiments, and production delays.
