2. Induction furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_furnace

   An induction furnace is an electrical furnace in which the heat is applied by induction heating of metal. [1][2][3] Induction furnace capacities range from less than one kilogram to one hundred tons, and are used to melt iron and steel, copper, aluminum, and precious metals. The advantage of the induction furnace is a clean, energy-efficient ...

3. Metallurgical furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgical_furnace

   Industrial furnace from 1907. A metallurgical furnace, often simply referred to as a furnace when the context is known, is an industrial furnace used to heat, melt, or otherwise process metals. Furnaces have been a central piece of equipment throughout the history of metallurgy; processing metals with heat is even its own engineering specialty ...

4. Vacuum arc remelting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_arc_remelting

   Vacuum arc remelting. Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is a secondary melting process for production of metal ingots with elevated chemical and mechanical homogeneity for highly demanding applications. [1] The VAR process has revolutionized the specialty traditional metallurgical techniques industry, and has made possible tightly-controlled materials ...

5. Electric arc furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc_furnace

   The liquid metal formed in either furnace is too conductive to form an effective heat-generating resistance. Amateurs have constructed a variety of arc furnaces, often based on electric arc welding kits contained by silica blocks or flower pots. Though crude, these simple furnaces can melt a wide range of materials, create calcium carbide, and ...

6. Cupola furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupola_furnace

   A cupola or cupola furnace is a melting device used in foundries that can be used to melt cast iron, Ni-resist iron and some bronzes. The cupola can be made almost any practical size. The size of a cupola is expressed in diameters and can range from 1.5 to 13 feet (0.5 to 4.0 m). [1] The overall shape is cylindrical and the equipment is ...

7. Vacuum induction melting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_induction_melting

   Vacuum induction melting (VIM) utilizes electric currents to melt metal within a vacuum. The first prototype was developed in 1920. [1] Induction heating induces eddy currents within conductors. Eddy currents create heating effects to melt the metal. [2] Vacuum induction melting has been used in both the aerospace and nuclear industries.

8. Smelting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting

   Smelting. Electric phosphate smelting furnace in a TVA chemical plant (1942) Smelting is a process of applying heat and a chemical reducing agent to an ore to extract a desired base metal product. [1] It is a form of extractive metallurgy that is used to obtain many metals such as iron, copper, silver, tin, lead and zinc.

9. Blast furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_furnace

   Former AHM blast furnace in Port of Sagunt, Valencia, Spain. A blast furnace is a type of metallurgical furnace used for smelting to produce industrial metals, generally pig iron, but also others such as lead or copper. Blast refers to the combustion air being supplied above atmospheric pressure. [1]
