Melting and Heating: Vital to Primary and Secondary Aluminum Production

Effective and efficient application of energy has long been a priority of the aluminum industry. Melting aluminum, holding molten aluminum, and containment during melt processing all carry major opportunities for energy savings because traditional furnaces operate at low efficiencies. Further, these furnaces require expensive materials of construction and often demand frequent repairs.
