  • The support part 12 is made of a cast metal alloy, for example cast iron of grade 25 ASTM. The frame part 14 is made of a light metal alloy, for example an aluminium alloy 242.0.
  • There are two methods for producing the pan support device 10 of the first embodiment.

The support part 12 and the frame part 14 may be assembled by screwing, snapping and/or gluing. The support part 12 and the frame part 14 may be assembled either temporarily or permanently. For example, the support part 12 and the frame part 14 may be assembled by the user or a technician.
  • The temperature at the contact points of the support part 12 and the flame is about 700°C, while the temperature of the flame is about 980°C. These temperatures are above the melting temperatures of the materials of the metal matrix. With a suitable thermal conductivity, cross-section and geometric shape, the support part 12 reaches a temperature of about 450°C, which is clearly below the melting temperature.
