Wesgo Style Platinum Melting Dish Crucible | 10 oz Capacity

Scale up your high-temperature casting capabilities with our 10 oz Wesgo Style Platinum Melting Dish. Specifically engineered to withstand the extreme thermal environments required to melt platinum, palladium, and high-karat gold, this heavy-duty crucible bowl is an industry standard for professional master jewelers and dental labs.

Featuring the iconic thick-walled, deep-welled design, it ensures unmatched heat retention and structural integrity when subjected to intense oxygen-gas torch flames.

Key Features & Benefits

• Built for Platinum-Group Metals: Standard ceramic or silica crucibles break down, crack, or introduce structural contamination when pushed to the temperatures required for platinum casting. This specialized Wesgo-style dish handles extreme temperatures smoothly without degrading.
• Maximum Heat Retention: The extra-thick bottom and dense wall geometry act as an exceptional thermal insulator. It traps massive amounts of ambient heat inside the bowl, allowing your metal to reach a molten state faster and stay fluid longer for smooth, non-turbulent pours.
• Superior Thermal Shock Resistance: Formulated from ultra-pure, clay-bonded fused silica, this melting cup undergoes sudden, intense torch heating and cooling cycles without fracturing, flaking, or spalling.
• Deep-Welled, Secure Geometry: The deep basin cradles raw metal stock, grains, or scrap securely under high-pressure torch streams, minimizing shifting and maximizing surface area exposure to the heat zone.

Specifications

• Design Style: Wesgo Style (Thick-Wall Deep Crucible Cup)
• Capacity: 10 Troy Ounces (approx. 311 Grams based on precious metal density)
• Max Temperature: Rated for high-temperature torch-melting and centrifugal casting applications
• Compatible Metals: Platinum, Palladium, White Gold, Yellow Gold, and other non-ferrous, high-melting-point alloys.

Crucible Cleanliness Warning: To ensure successful, pure platinum casting, do not season this dish with Borax or flux. At platinum's extreme melting points, standard fluxes chemically break down, eroding the crucible walls and embedding destructive impurities into your precious metal. Keep this dish entirely clean and dedicated exclusively to platinum-group metals.

The Professional Bench Standard for High-Melting Metallurgy

When you are pouring 10 ounces of platinum or high-karat gold, tool failure is not an option. Our Wesgo Style Platinum Melting Dish is trusted worldwide by manufacturing jewelers and refining technicians because it eliminates the structural risks of cheap alternatives. It stands up to heavy-duty oxy-hydrogen or oxy-propane torch tips, giving you clean, contamination-free metal and a reliable, steady pour every single time.
