Talk to your crucible supplier. There is a special brand of graphite that
is used for Al crucibles (the brand name eludes me for the moment, but there
may be different names depending on the vendors). I assume you are using a
copper hearth. If so, I have used Al directly in the copper without a
crucible and it worked just fine, it just takes more power so beware if your
power supply is already maxed out.

Subject: [mems-talk] Al evaporation
Hello everyone,
I need do Al e-beam evaporation frequently.
However after several times, Al always spill out of the crucible and get the
crucible cracked. I use small ramp rate, it still happened.
How can I prevent it?
Thnaks,
Zhihai
