Where the glass comes into contact with the cold wall, a thin layer of solidified glass forms, with a thickness of 5–10 mm, interposing itself between the molten glass, and the cold metal wall. Thus, the metal forming the crucible does not come into contact with the molten glass, which is held entirely inside this solidified glass "skin, " or"skull : "hencethe term "self-crucible"(or "skull melter.

The cold crucible operates according to the direct induction principle : the wall of the cold crucible is cooled by a water circulation system[, ] a protective layer of condensed glass then forms, called a "self-crucible.

There are two classifications of induction furnaces : coreless and channel. In a coreless furnace, the refractory-lined crucible is completely surrounded by a water-cooled copper coil, while in the channel furnace the coil surrounds only a small appendage of the unit, called an inductor. The term "channel" refers to the channel that the molten metal forms as a loop within the inductor. It is the metal loop that forms the secondary of the electrical circuit, with the surrounding copper coil being the primary. In a coreless furnace, the entire metal content of the crucible is the secondary. 2, record 4, English, - induction%20furnace
