148, Metal Treatment, appropriate subclasses for processes of treating solid or semi-solid metal including metal electrodes to modify or maintain the internal physical structure (i.e., microstructure) or chemical properties of metal. If metal casting, fusion bonding, machining, or working is involved, there is a requirement of significant heat treatment as described in section III, A, of the Class 148 definition. Use of electric heating does not negate placement in Class 148, if the other criteria of Class 148 are met.

219, Electric Heating,

600+, for inductive heating, subclasses 678+ for microwave heating, subclasses 764+ for capacitive dielectric heating, and subclass 162 for methods of electrically heating metal. 264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating: Process,

345+, for methods of treating a shaped or solid nonmetallic article by means of a temperature change.

432, Heating,

9+, for processes of heating to treat an article, container, or body as an unit.
