Personnel in the atomic energy program are confronted at times with an immediate need for information concerning the properties of commercially available nonmetallic crucibles. Some of the information is unavailable to the casual worker, and the published portion is widely scattered throughout the literature. Since nonmetallic crucibles are usually ceramic, the ORNL Ceramic group felt that a valuable contribution could be made by compiling information from both published and unpublished sources in a form that would enable the casual worker to ascertain readily the type of crucible best suited to his needs and to find a source of supply on the market for each type. In addition, forming methods are presented to aid those who may wish to fabricate their own crucibles.
