Furnaces International Issue
March 2026

The March 2026 Issue of Furnaces International.

This issue covers the latest investments with an upgrade project from Fives and Novelis that saw three furnaces reduce gas consumption by up to 40%.

Elsewhere, we spotlight the benefits of oxy-fuel furnaces as SEFPRO outlines how it completed a hot-state bottom repair for Chinese glass manufacturer Jinkangda, which averted a molten glass leak without requiring a furnace shutdown.

Additionally, the issue takes a look at sustainability with hybrid heating technology for a future-proof energy supply.

Finally, the issue includes an insight from Metalsolvus on digital tools in vacuum hardening operations to ensure energy efficiency and processing repeatability.
