Electric furnace
Music
- Electric Furnace (band), a Welsh heavy metal band.
An electric furnace may also be any of the following type of heat producing equipment using electric power:
- A central heating plant for a home or building
- An electric arc furnace used for steelmaking and smelting of certain ores
- An industrial heat treating furnace
- An electrically heated kiln
- An induction furnace used for preparation of special alloys
- A modern muffle furnace
A furnace is usually distinct from an oven which reaches lower temperatures, although there is considerable overlap. Usage of either term is based more on custom than on strict classification.
