Abstract: The present article deals with the recycling of metal hydride alloys, as part of the melting process, conducted with the use of a newly-designed prototype device. Individual induction heating parameters that affect the efficiency of the process of melting metal hydride alloys are analysed. The induction heating method, its effects on the melted metal hydride alloy, and potential optimisation of the recycling process are analysed in detail. The article also presents specific designs of the induction heating apparatus, including a crucible. The construction of the oscillator module, the source module, and the water-cooling module that are required for controlling the melting process are described in detail.
