Furnace

An enclosure in which heat is generated or enters from another heat source. This is generally done through combusting a fuel or by converting electricity to heat. In the wire industry, furnaces are typically used to increase the workability before and/or after drawing or rolling, as well as to impart other properties desirable in the end product.
