3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
Melting and casting uses cathode copper, other
elemental metals or intermediate alloys, waste materials and other raw materials, and then undergoes melting, degassing, slag removal, and heat preservation processes to obtain
The process of pouring molten metal into a mold or crystallizer and cooling and solidifying it to produce an ingot with the required chemical composition, specifications and properties.
Note: Abbreviation for smelting and casting.
3.2
Melting is the process and
operation of melting the charge by heating and performing degassing and slag removal operations.
3.3
Melting furnace meltingfurnace An industrial
furnace used for melting copper or copper alloys.
3.4
Holding furnace is an industrial furnace used
for keeping copper or copper alloy melt still and warm.
3.5

of metal to generate heat in the metal and is used to melt copper or copper alloys. Note: It includes two types: cored induction furnace and
coreless induction furnace.
3.6
Casting is the process of
pouring molten copper or copper alloy into a mold or water-cooled crystallizer to allow it to solidify.
3.7
