ABSTRACT:
A silica glass crucible is manufactured by introducing into a rotating crucible mold bulk silica grain to form a bulky wall including a bottom wall and a side wall. After heating the interior of the mold to begin to fuse the bulk silica grains, an inner silica grain, doped with aluminum, is introduced. The heat at least partially melts the inner silica grain, allowing it to fuse to the wall to form an inner layer. The crucible is cooled, the fused silica grains forming nuclei of crystalline silica within the inner layer.
