Melt (manufacturing)

Melt (manufacturing)

Melt is the term used to describe the working material in the steelmaking process, in making glass, and when forming thermoplastics. For thermoplastics, the term specifically refers to the plastic in its forming temperature, which can vary depending on how it is being used.[1] For steelmaking, it refers to steel in liquid form.[2]
