Right. they have iridium crucibles in chip factories to melt the silicon in ingots. it has a melting point of 2400°C. You could probably also use osmium which is a bit more reactive but has a higher melting point of 3000°C. but reactivity would wear you out faster so I'd take iridium for most stuff.

Depends on what you're melting.
