What is a crucible and how are they used?
A crucible is a container that is used to hold things whilst they are heated to very high temperatures and typically melted. In the school chemistry lab they are usually small ceramic pots. A substance is placed in the crucible. A lid may be used to cover it. The crucible is heated, typically with a Bunsen burner. A support system is usually used (such as a triangle of pipe clay on wire placed on a tripod) to minimize the risk of burns. In the wider world crucibles can be huge such as those used in steel manufacture and can be made of different materials.

Can you use heated steel as reinforcement?
yes it can be used
Does the mass of a steel tube increase when it is heated from 30 degrees to 60 degrees?
When steel (or indeed anything) is heated its mass does not change. Volume is altered by cooling and heating. In this case the volume of the steel would increase.
Why does the steel spoon get hot in liquid?
