Record 2 2016-01-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Glass Industry
  • Waste Management
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
CONT

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. ")

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie du verre
  • Gestion des déchets
  • Déchets nucléaires
DEF

Couche solide de verre qui se forme sur la paroi interne d’un creuset froid, dont elle assure ainsi la protection.

CONT

L’autocreuset permet notamment de limiter la corrosion des parois du creuset froid.

Record 3 2015-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Science and Technology
  • Smelting (Metal Processing)
CONT

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. "This protects the metal crucible from the effects of high temperatures and corrosion caused by the bath of molten glass.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences et techniques nucléaires
  • Fusion (Transformation des métaux)
CONT

Le creuset froid fonctionne [selon] le principe de l’induction directe : la paroi du creuset froid est refroidie par un système de circulation d’eau[,] une couche protectrice de verre figée appelée «autocreuset» se forme. Cette couche protège le creuset métallique des effets des hautes températures et de la corrosion due au bain de verre en fusion.

Record 4 2004-01-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrometallurgy
DEF

An alternating current electric furnace in which the primary conductor is coiled and generates, by electromagnetic induction, a secondary current that develops heat within the metal charge.

CONT

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.

PHR

Channel type, high-frequency electric, low-frequency electric induction furnace.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électrométallurgie
CONT

Les fours électriques proprement dits se divisent en quatre types : le four à arc [...]; le four à résistance [...]; le four à induction, où la masse du four constitue le secondaire d'une bobine d'induction, qui agit comme un véritable transformateur [...]; les fours à micro-ondes [...]

PHR

Four électrique à induction à canal, à basse fréquence, à haute fréquence.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

Record 5 1999-12-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallurgy - General
DEF

Durville process : A casting process that involves rigid attachment of the mold in an inverted position above the crucible. The melt is poured by tilting the entire assembly, causing the metal to flow along a connecting launder and down the side of the mold.

Record 7 1981-12-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

The blade shell, mated to a chill plate, is positioned under a water-cooled copper crucible and receives the pour of metal; the process is completed in about 20 seconds. The shell and liquid are then moved into one of 20 heater chambers in the facility for controlling the solidification process.

French

Domaine(s)

CONT
