  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. Electric arc furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc_furnace

    Electric arc furnace. An electric arc furnace (the large cylinder) being tapped. Rendering of exterior and interior of an electric arc furnace. An electric arc furnace (EAF) is a furnace that heats material by means of an electric arc. Industrial arc furnaces range in size from small units of approximately one-tonne capacity (used in foundries ...

  4. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    The power through the thermostat is provided by the heating device and may range from millivolts to 240 volts in common North American construction, and is used to control the heating system either directly (electric baseboard heaters and some electric furnaces) or indirectly (all gas, oil and forced hot water systems).

  5. Electric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

    Electric heating is a process in which electrical energy is converted directly to heat energy. Common applications include space heating, cooking, water heating and industrial processes. An electric heater is an electrical device that converts an electric current into heat. [1] The heating element inside every electric heater is an electrical ...

  6. Induction heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heater

    An induction heater is a key piece of equipment used in all forms of induction heating. Typically an induction heater operates at either medium frequency (MF) or radio frequency (RF) ranges. [1] Four main component systems form the basis of a modern induction heater. the control system, control panel, or ON / OFF switch; in some cases this ...

  7. 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 ...

    An electric furnace. A central heating plant for a home or building. An electric arc furnace used for steel making and smelting of certain ores. An industrial heat treating furnace. An electrically heated kiln. An induction furnace used for preparation of special alloys.

  9. Stassano furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stassano_furnace

    The Stassano furnace produces steel by fusing scrap iron and cast iron and operating a successive decarburization of the fused material. The furnace is initially loaded with the material to be fused, which is introduced into the crucible from the charge door. Once the loading is completed, current is sent to the electrodes, which generate an ...
