Metal heated past its melting point and molded into a bar or block. Additionally, the molds from which metal objects are cast may be called ingots. After the ingots are created they are sold in that form mainly to industries to be melted into another form. This article is about metallic materials. ... The melting point of a crystalline solid is the temperature range at which it changes state from solid to liquid. ...
In the semiconductor industry single crystal ingots (often called boules) of semiconductor materials can be grown by methods such as the Czochralski process or Bridgeman technique. These are then cut up and polished to provide wafers on which semiconductor devices, ranging from microprocessors to light-emitting diodes can be fabricated. Single crystal ingots can be created with single dendrite formation. Such is done for single crystal turbine blades. A semiconductor is a solid whose electrical conductivity is in between that of a conductor and that of an insulator, and can be controlled over a wide range, either permanently or dynamically. ... A single crystal is a crystalline solid in which the crystal lattice of the entire sample is continuous and unbroken to the edges of the sample. ... Silicon boule for the production of wafers. ...

An ingot pusher furnace as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a pair of shoe assemblies each being positioned underneath and adjacent to the center portion of the ingot, said shoe assemblies being adapted to support the ingot to be heated.
In addition, since the ingots 52 leaving the ingot pusher furnace 10 should have a uniform temperature throughout their volume, the outlet vestibule 182 prevents large amount of cold air from rushing into the enclosure 26 when an end ingot 52 is discharged.
When one of the ingots 52 is to be removed from the furnace 10, the third hydralic means 244 is actuated, placing tension o the chain 238 and raising the inner outlet door 230 allowing the ingot 52 to be pushed into the outlet vestibule 182.
