Ladle refining process. Large ladles are used in most metal-melting operations to transfer molten metal from melting furnaces to refining or pouring station. Ladle refining furnaces are basically ladles with a heating source and lid. LRFs are used to reheat or maintain steel tapped from a steel-making furnace to a precise temperature and or refine it to exact chemical specifications. 1, record 3, English, - ladle%20refining

L'une de ces «méthodes secondaires» est l'affinage en poche. Dans ce procédé, la ferraille est rapidement fondue dans le four électrique au maximum de puissance. Puis le métal liquide est versé aussi vite que possible dans une poche de coulée où il est affiné. Le procédé permet de réserver le four pour l'opération qu'il effectue le mieux : la fusion à puissance élevée. 1, record 3, French, - affinage%20en%20poche

Les chercheurs du Microwave Research Center de Marlborough(New Hampshire) ont entrepris de tester sur eux-mêmes, le chauffage aux micro-ondes. Une source de ces ondes, d’une puissance de 800 watts et semblable à celle d’un four de commerce, a été encastrée dans un mur, et la pièce a été tapissée de différents dispositifs de réflexion des ondes. Ces cobayes humains ont constaté qu'ils obtenaient une atmosphère confortable avec un flux d’ondes «plusieurs centaines de fois inférieur à celui qui règne dans un four standard», ce qui déboucherait sur une économie d’environ 25% par rapport à un chauffage électrique conventionnel. Ils reconnaissent toutefois qu'il sera difficile de convaincre le public de l'innocuité d’un tel système. 1, record 4, French, - chauffage%20aux%20micro%2Dondes
