THe COMPANY
Masc Global Industries started it’s commercial production to manufacture Silicon
Carbide Crucibles both with Resin and Tar Pitch Bond and other special refractories in
June 2018. The company has acquired the ISO-9001:2015 quality management system
in April 2019. It has a modern management team equipped with the latest technology,
machineries, furnaces and technical team to cater to the needs of foundry industries
with high production volume. Masc Global Industries’ qualified and experienced team
is headed by Mr. A. K. Naik (CEO) who has international exposure with more than 29
years of experience in a similar field. With his guidance, our process control team keeps
a strict vigil on the production process to safeguard all quality parameters. The best
quality raw materials are used from indigenous and imported sources to ensure
product quality. Stage wise 100% inspection is ensured by its inspectors and quality
assurance department to prevent the processing of defective materials in the next stage
of process. Masc Global is having a full-fledged laboratory for testing, analysis, and
development. Our commitment towards quality is reflected in formation of our Quality
Control and R&D team before the commissioning of our plant.

“
OUR MOTTO

Providing our products with consistent quality at most

competitive price and timely services.
“
Masc Global’s Crucibles branded as ‘The New Carbon Star’ is used for the melting of
Cast Iron, Copper, Brass, Gold, Silver, Aluminum, Zinc, Cuprous Nickel, Al-Bronze, Tin
and for manufacturing Zinc Oxide. ‘The New Carbon Star’ is found full acceptance in Oil
Fired, Coal Fired, Gas Fired, and Electric furnaces both for electrical resistance and
induction furnaces.

We are committed to supplying crucibles to our customers by providing them at a

competitive price and consistent product quality to cater to their needs and
expectations. We shall strive hard to steadily improve our business processes and
resources to accomplish our quality objectives.

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Installing the crucible
Bottom stand made up of the same material
as the crucible will ensure uniform heating &
expansion, thus reducing thermal stresses.
The stand should have the same diameter or
slightly greater than the diameter of the
bottom of the crucible to be able to provide
adequate support to the crucible.
The height of the stand should be on level
with the centre line of the burner for optimum
heat transfer and better melting efficiencies.
The crucible and the stand should be centrally
installed.
The burner should be placed such that the
flame will be tangential to the centerline of
stand and crucible.
Bale Out Furnace
The top cover bricks should be set to leave a
gap of 8 mm around the crucible to allow for
expansion of the crucible and the furnace
lining. Failure of the same can lead to cracking
at the top of the crucible.
A layer of insulating material, such as ceramic
fibre should be placed over the top of the
lining and the top edge of the crucible in order
to insulate the metal top plate. It should not
be pushed down between the cover bricks
and the crucibles.
If the steel top ring is fitted, ensure that there
is a gap of 12 mm between it and the inside of
the crucible to allow for expansion. Too small
a gap can lead to cracking at the top of the
crucible.
Tilting Furnace
The stand should be set on the metal stand in
the recess at the base of the furnace. It
should be ensured that it is firm, central and
levelled.
Cement should be evenly spreaded over the
top of the stand excluding the spigot.
The crucible should be placed centrally on to
the stand.
The key/grip bricks should be cemented on
to their support bricks in the furnace lining,
leaving 6-10 mm gap between crucible and
key bricks.
Cardboard or carbonaceous material should
be inserted in the gap.
Key bricks should be placed 75 mm below
the top edge of the crucible.
A gap of about 40 mm should be left below
the spout, to avoid the crucible hanging up
on the spout.
Lift Out Furnaces
To prevent the crucible from sticking to the
stand, a thin layer of coke or other
carbonaceous material should be sprinkled
on top of the stand.
Crucible should be placed centrally on the
stand.
Rocking and levering should not be done to
free the crucible if it has stuck to the stand. It
can cause fractures in the lower wall of the
crucible.

PREHEATING GUIDE
Heating recommendations for our Silicon Carbide Crucibles

Instructions for Melting (First Installation)

The crucible should be slowly heated up to a temperature of 200°C over a period of two
hours to remove any moisture that may be present.
The crucible should be then heated up to 600°C using low power.
The desired working temperature can then be reached at full power.

Instructions for Holding (First Installation)

The crucible should be slowly heated up to a temperature of 200°C over a period of 2 hours
200°C to remove any moisture that may be present.
The temperature should be held at 950°C for approximately 1 hour to ensures melting of
glaze along with anti-oxidation coating. This is necessary to achieve maximise crucible life.
This procedure always be done before reusing the crucible after a long time, and should be
repeated at certain intervals.

Instructions for using crucibles after a long gap

The crucible should be slowly heated up to a temperature of 200°C over a period of 2 hours
to remove any moisture that may be present (Only after a long gap of use)
Once this temperature is reached the heating procedure should be followed as per normal
use

CRUCIBLE CARE
The burner should be positioned in such a way
that the flame is directed between the crucible
and bottom stand

Store Crucibles in a dry, warm place Do not nest inside another Do not roll crucibles
Keep each crucible separately Move using a sack truck with padding

Check thoroughly for cracks or damage before Use correct bottom stand which must be central Allow space for expansion between crucible and
use and support the whole base furnace lining/cover

Use correct positioned grip bricks in tilting The flame path must be tangential to the Ingots should be added to crucible carefully
furnaces, leaving gaps for expansion crucible using tongs
Do not hang crucible on sprout

First charge with light returns, as a cushion, then Only add flux after the metal is completely Avoid premature crucible failure by ensuring that
add the ingots vertically molten the drain hole is sealed

Crucible should be lifted using right handling Solid metal should be removed from the crucible Oxides and impurities should be removed
equipment with pressure on the center of before next use carefully and periodically
