.~.~ Using melted solid to wash solidified constituent
DEFINITION
Classification: 62/542
(under subclass 532) Processes wherein a portion of the solidified constituent is melted and utilized as a wash liquid to remove the solution or mixture which remains on the surface of the solidified component.
(1) Note. This subclass is intended to include processes wherein the solid is moved to a region of higher temperature where it melts and flows back over the solid entering the region of higher temperature.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
538+, for processes wherein the solidified constituent is remelted and returned as a liquid through the solidified constituent and the washing action is facilitated by pulsations of the liquid-solid mass.
