The PHYHOO ceramic crucible melting kit provides essential heat-resistant tools for clean, controlled torch melting and small-batch jewelry casting on your workbench.

Key Selling Points

  • Dual-Capacity Crucibles: Includes 50 ml and 150 ml high-density ceramic crucibles to support both delicate repair melts and larger scrap alloy batches.
  • 10-Liang Melting Bowl: Wide-mouth quartz-ceramic bowl designed for rapid flame heating, effective flux gathering, and clean pouring of molten metal.
  • 40 cm Extended Stainless Steel Tongs: Heavy-duty 15.7-inch tongs deliver firm, balanced grip on heated vessels while keeping hands safely away from the flame zone.
  • 90-Degree Bent-Nose Pliers: 267 mm (10.5 in) reach pliers provide precise angle control for adjusting workpieces, repositioning crucibles, and handling hot materials.
  • Refractory Insulating Firebrick: Dense ceramic block shields workbench surfaces from intense torch heat and provides a flat, level base for stable vessel positioning.
  • Complete Small-Batch Metalworking Solution: Combines essential containment, handling, and insulation tools into one reliable set for jewelers, goldsmiths, and metalsmiths.

About This Product

The PHYHOO Ceramic Crucible Melting Kit is crafted for artisans, jewelry technicians, and metalsmiths who require dependable thermal endurance and precise handling during benchtop torch melting. Containing two deep ceramic crucibles, a heavy-wall melting bowl, extra-long tongs, bent-nose pliers, and a refractory firebrick, this kit provides the complete physical foundation for clean, reliable melts.

Each component is engineered to withstand open-flame torch temperatures commonly used for processing gold, silver, copper, brass, and bronze. The firebrick maintains a stable thermal barrier on your workbench, while the balanced tongs and pliers ensure steady, confident pouring into ingot molds or casting flasks.

Crucible Selection and Material Guide

Vessel Type Capacity Recommended Application
50 ml Ceramic Crucible 50 ml (approx. 1.7 fl oz) Small gold and silver scrap, single-ring castings, and precision jewelry repairs
150 ml Ceramic Crucible 150 ml (approx. 5.1 fl oz) Multi-piece casting trees, ingot preparation, and bulk copper or brass melting
10-Liang Melting Bowl 10 Liang (approx. 312 g / 10 ozt) Shallow torch heating, alloy mixing, button casting, and quick torch pour operations

Best For / Not For

Best For Not For
Torch melting of gold, silver, copper, brass, and bronze alloys Iron, steel, platinum, or high-melting-point ferrous metals
Small-batch jewelry casting, scrap recycling, and button creation Large-scale industrial foundry operations exceeding 150 ml capacity
Jewelry soldering support and workbench thermal shielding Unattended heating or operation without appropriate heat safety gear
Goldsmith studios, studio jewelers, metalcraft hobbyists, and repair benches Direct bare-hand manipulation of hot tools or molten vessels
Safety Notice: Always work in a well-ventilated space with heat-resistant gloves, safety glasses, and fire-safe workbench protection. Ceramic vessels must be preheated gradually before full torch exposure. Do not pour molten metal directly onto the firebrick surface. Torch, fuel, and casting molds are sold separately.

Pro Tips

  • Preheat Vessels Gradually: Always sweep a soft, bushy flame over the ceramic crucibles and melting bowl before applying concentrated high heat to eliminate residual moisture and prevent thermal shock cracking.
  • Season with Borax: Lightly glaze the interior surfaces with casting flux or borax during early heating to reduce metal adhesion and encourage clean, complete pours.
  • Dedicate by Alloy: Use separate crucibles for distinct metal types (for example, keeping sterling silver separate from copper alloys) to prevent metallurgical cross-contamination.
  • Verify Grip Stability: Seat the tongs firmly around the crucible body below the rim, and practice pouring alignment while cool before initiating a live melt.
  • Natural Cooling Cycle: Allow ceramic components and the firebrick to cool gradually at ambient room temperature; never quench hot ceramic items in water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this kit be used to melt platinum or iron?
A: No. This set is specifically rated for non-ferrous precious and base jewelry metals such as gold, silver, copper, brass, and bronze. Platinum, iron, and steel require specialized high-temperature furnaces and zirconia or graphite vessels.

Q: Why is preheating ceramic crucibles necessary?
A: Ceramic materials can absorb microscopic environmental moisture. Preheating gently with a low flame dries the ceramic and allows even thermal expansion, preventing cracking or spalling from sudden thermal shock.

Q: Is a torch or fuel included in this set?
A: No. Torches, gas regulators, and fuel canisters are not included. This set provides the essential containment vessels, handling tongs, and thermal benchtop protection.

Q: How do I select between the 50 ml and 150 ml crucibles?
A: Use the 50 ml crucible for small repairs, sizing scrap, and single pieces to concentrate heat efficiently. Select the 150 ml crucible when melting larger quantities or preparing alloy ingots.

Q: How should I clean and store the crucibles after use?
A: Allow all parts to cool completely on the firebrick. Scrape loose residual flux gently while cold, and store vessels in a dry cabinet away from dampness. Never wash hot ceramic vessels in water.

Q: How can I reach customer support if I have questions about this set?
A: You can reach the PHYHOO support team directly at sales@phyhoo.com for product guidance or order assistance.
