Cold crucible for smelting and crystallising inorganic non metallic compounds

摘要

A cold crucible for melting and crystallizing non-metallic inorganic compounds having a cooled crucible wall in the form of metal pipes through which cooling medium flows which are in mechanical connection with the bottom of the crucible through which cooling medium also flows, and having an induction coil which surrounds the wall of the crucible and via which high frequency energy can be coupled in the contents of the crucible and having a second induction coil which can be controlled independently of the induction coil surrounding the wall of the crucible and which is provided below the bottom of the crucible, and having a crucible bottom consisting of a dielectric material.
