Abstract (en)

A furnace construction capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 1927 DEG C, has carbon walls forming a furnace chamber is provided with an open bottom which in use is closed by a refractory raw material (70) in a container (68) and sealed by a skirt member (60) which is attached directly to the superstructure of the furnace and penetrates the refractory material 70. The furnace chamber walls are insulated with charred paper 62. Heat generated by an arc struck between electrodes 17, 18 fuses an ingot from the refractory material 70.
