• Description: The third article in the Casthouse Management series, this article concentrates on optimum charging and melting of other light-gauge painted or coated sheet products — such as painted/coated sheet scrap, used beverage cans (UBCs), and automotive body scrap — in side well melting furnaces, which are popular in the U.S. It discusses the importance of shredding and de-coating, the role of fluxes (wet or exothermic), and charging the painted and coated scrap directly into the bath when trying to optimize melting of this kind of scrap.
