Abstract
A furnace for heat treating metal slabs or strips includes a heating chamber through which stock is passed in confronting relationship to an array of jet impingement radiation burners. Combustion is separated from the stock by flat refractory plates having a plurality of holes uniformly distributed thereover which direct uniform jets of combustion products upon the strip or slab. The jets of combustion products heat the work by convection. Also, the refractory jet forming plates are heated to radiance so that heat energy is transferred to the work by radiation.
