Adds more ways to heat & smelt things. Rather than dusts being smelted into ingots in one step, the dusts are melted into molten material by these processes, which can then be cast into ingots, material parts, blocks, etc. using a mold, casting machine and coolant (like water for basic stuff and liquid helium for more advanced stuff)
Electric Blast furnace
Uses electrical coils to smelt stuff. All of the materials used in blast furnace coils melt beyond 2000 K. So, cupronickel, nichrome and kanthal will be the only coil materials. The rotary hearth furnace may be regated to EV (when tungstensteel is unlocked). These blast furnaces are capable of doing most industrial smelting processes, so this limitation won't be too bad. Ingots with unrealistic temperature requirements will be lowered to be smeltable with the new blast furnaces. Coils would be made from insulator foils, metal wires and molten metals, rather than from metal foils, metal wires and molten metals.
Solar furnace (EV)
Goes up to 3,770 K. The multiblock would be an array of mirrors pointing towards a holder containing the object to be heated. Replaces tungstensteel blast furnace, so this multiblock would require tungsten steel.
Burner Reactor (IV)
Goes up to 5,200 K. This consumes dicyanoacetylene and ozone to produce a 5,200 K flame to process the object to be heated. Replaces HSS-G blast furnace, so this multiblock would require HSS-G
Goes up to 7,200 K. Large amounts of power and different wavelengths of lasers will be used to process the material to be heated, based on which wavelength is best absorbed by the material (thus making heating more efficient)
Replaces naquadah blast furnace, so this multiblock would require naquadah
Can be used to create plasma for processes such as Plasma-enhanced CVDs. Make sure that making plasma consumes more energy than the plasma would generate in a plasma turbine.
Plasma forge (ZPM)
Goes up to 9,000 K. This forge would use an input of plasma to process the material to be heated, turning the plasma back into a gas or liquid.
Replaces trinium blast furnace, so this multiblock would require trinium.
Stellar forge (UEV?)
Goes up to 11,000 K. This forge, constructed in space stations orbiting stars, would suck material from the surface of the star and use it to process the material to be heated.
Replaces tritanium blast furnace, so this multiblock would require tritanium.
