I have searched in the Google about the meaning of the word and I found this meaning.
Melting means fundente, corrimiento. I will appreciate your contribution.

Glad to be of help, Mr. CrOtALiTo.
I think that instead of "Lord" you could use "sir", (if you want to be formal) Otherwise "lord" with I-cap (Initial-capital letter) is like "God"... as in good Lord! = ¡Dios mío!

So Lord JPablo, all I could find were English words..... cauldron, fusion, crucible..
I had never heard the word "crisol" before so I thank you for enlightening me and contributing to my vocabulary bank.

Well, Milady Elaina, you're welcome... (Hey, does that sound alliterative or what?)
Hey, I like that word "crucible"... (I take you can say "Barcelona is a crucible of cultures..." understood in the same figurative way.)

In American English the word crucible isn't much used. Many people ARE Arthur Miller's great play called "The Crucible", but the word crucible is not a part of contemprary language when not referring to the play. Although it clearly means melting pot, more often it's thought to be a cross to bear -- a difficult test of one's moral integrity. Maybe it's because of the play that I think that way.

I remember using a crucible in chemistry lessons at school, which I used for melting things over a Bunsen burner.

@CrOTaLiTo,
By George! I sure remember your name, Sir Lord George McCrotalitus! I guess I could go with something more British, as in Sir Lord John Paul Jones... (it is a difficult choice to make, mate) @ Poli, Thank you for the data on this (crucible) and the way it is perceived in English. @ Perikles, thank you too... the Bunsen burner reminds me the "Flauta Bunsen" (one of the "classical" instruments by Les Luthiers.) El Tubófono silicónico cromático o flauta Bunsen está constituido por 31 tubos de ensayo (aquellos utilizados en los laboratorios químicos) dispuestos en doble hilera en un soporte acrílico.
