remelting
Heating solid again
Remelting is the process of melting something again, typically metal or other materials that have already been solidified from a previous melt.
The term appears in manufacturing and recycling contexts: The foundry specializes in remelting scrap aluminum.
Remelting allows materials to be reshaped, purified, or recombined with other elements.
