Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019137840A1] The present invention relates to a cold crucible for an induction heating device for heating and melting materials such as metals. The crucible comprises a crucible body that is in the general shape of a tube or of a test piece, the peripheral partition of which comprises a plurality of sections in the shape of arcs of a circle separated from each other by an air space. Each section contains a cooling pipe circulating a coolant in order to cool the crucible during operation. The present invention also relates to a cooling manifold, which, during operation, is connected to the crucible body and which allows the coolant to be distributed through the various pipes. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the crucible. The field of the invention is particularly that of metallurgy and foundries.
