La fusion est le passage par l'état liquide pour l'obtention du métal ou d'un produit intermédiaire tel qu'une matte (mélange de sulfures). (...) La fusion scorifiante s'emploie à de nombreux stades d'élaboration pour séparer la scorie riche en impuretés, du bain métallique qui a subi l'action épurante d'un laitier. Les fours de fusion sont soit à cuve (haut fourneau), soit à sole à réverbère (four Martin-Siemens), ou encore en poche (convertisseur). 2, record 2, French, - four%20de%20fusion
