Although tungsten itself has excellent thermal stability and corrosion resistance, the actual service life of tungsten crucibles is affected by a number of factors. Therefore, a lifetime assessment of the system not only helps to improve the efficiency of equipment operation, but also reduces material waste and maintenance costs. The main factors affecting the life of tungsten crucibles include temperature conditions, working atmosphere, frequency of use, type of smelted material, processing quality and number of thermal cycles. Temperature plays a…
