FIELD: metallurgy. SUBSTANCE: invention may be used for suspension melting during which metal is injected into pot and melted without contact with internal surface of its walls. Melting pot has cylindrical body with closed bottom. Slots are arranged vertically in circular wall of body at specified distances along circumference. Slots are open inwards and outwards and are filled with insulation material. Each slot has width of internal opening smaller than width of external opening relative to radius of body. Width A of internal opening and width B of external opening in slot may have relation 1.5 <B. Design provides for good penetration of magnetic field into it, prevention of fouling of molten metal in case of touch with insulation material contained in slot which results in improved technology of stuffing of insulation material into slot. EFFECT: improved characteristics of melting pot. 1 cl, 8 dwg
