ABSTRACT:
A melting furnace is disclosed which heats by joule effect to supply molten material of uniform temperature at the floor of the melter. During formation of molten material, an essentially isothermal condition across a given horizontal plane of the body of molten material is established. Spaced apart opposed electrodes and controlled current flow establish these uniform temperatures and allow molten material to be formed directly from the melter without further processing.
