Abstract
A mold for the production of a silica crucible by heat-fusing silica or quartz powder attached onto an inner wall of a rotating mold, wherein a ring-shaped heat insulating barrier material having a specified inner diameter is disposed on an inner peripheral wall of an upper opening portion of the mold corresponding to an upper region of the silica crucible.

A mold for producing a silica crucible by heat-fusing silica or quartz powder at a state attached onto an inner wall of a rotating mold, characterized in that a ring-shaped heat insulating barrier material having an inner diameter smaller than that of the mold and larger than that of the silica crucible is disposed on an inner peripheral wall of an upper opening portion of the mold corresponding to an upper region of the silica crucible. wherein an inner surface of the barrier material protrudes from an inner surface of the mold toward a central axis of the mold to reduce or thin an upper portion of the silica crucible.
A mold for producing a silica crucible by heat-fusing silica or quartz powder at a state attached onto an inner wall of a rotating mold, the mold comprising:
- the inner wall, comprising a bottom surface, intersecting a lower portion of the inner wall, and an upper opening portion of the inner wall intermediate the lower portion and a mold opening, wherein the lower portion of the inner wall defines an inner wall plane of the mold;
- and
- a ring-shaped heat insulating barrier disposed on the upper opening portion of the inner wall, which corresponds to an upper region of the silica crucible formed using the mold, said ring-shaped heat insulating barrier having an inner diameter smaller than that of the inner wall plane of the mold and larger than that of the silica crucible formed using the mold, wherein an inner surface of the barrier material protrudes from an inner surface of the mold toward a central axis of the mold to reduce or thin an upper portion of the silica crucible.
