Abstract
Melting and solidification phenomena processes play an important role in many metals processing operations. The melting of steel scrap in the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) the melting of copper anodes in an Asarco furnace, ingot solidification, and continuous casting of steel, copper, and aluminum may be quoted as examples.
