1. Metal processing industry
Thermal-electric equipment continues to be widely used in industry; the expected consumption of equipment orders in industry in 2005 is around 700 GWh, for new installations, extensions and power increases, and 50 GWh for the reinforcement and conversion of old equipment.
1.1 Metal melting
The production of liquid metals and alloys for casting in sand or metal molds involves three operations:
melting itself. It is often necessary to overheat alloys above melting temperature to compensate for temperature losses during alloying operations, and to maintain a sufficient temperature margin to cast the metal or alloy at the right temperature (casting temperature accuracy is an essential factor in process quality), resulting in...
