An important industrial use of electrolysis is in the electrolytic furnace, which is employed in the manufacture of aluminum, magnesium, and sodium. In this furnace the resistance of a charge of metallic salts is used to heat the charge until it becomes molten and ionizes. The metal is then deposited electrolytically. 1, record 1, English, - electrolytic%20furnace
