Abstract: Effective agitation of a molten metal is accomplished by means of the magnetic force exerted by an electromagnetic-wave device. A furnace capable of providing effective agitation of a molten metal is formed by providing a furnace of refractory material with an electromagnetic-wave device.
Abstract: Economically advantageous melting of aluminum scraps is obtained by first compressing said aluminum scraps under a magnitude of pressure exceeding the yield strength of the material making up said scraps for thereby converting them into a compressed mass having an apparent specific gravity greater than the specific gravity of normal aluminum melt and subsequently introducing the compressed mass into a molten aluminum bath.
