ABSTRACT

As the next chapter will show, there are numerous designs of gas-red melting furnaces for scrap aluminum. However, these furnaces have many parts in common. Advances in the design of these parts affect all types of furnace. These advances include the creation of accessories-equipment that is attached to the main body of the furnace, either for occasional or semicontinuous use. The purpose of these parts and accessories is to meet a common goal-melting aluminum scrap in the shortest possible time, with the highest possible efciency and the lowest possible melt loss.
