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:" hence the term "self-crucible" (or "skull melter.")

French

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.
