Abstract

Technological knowledge of the use of metals is inseparable from human knowledge in the processing pyrotechnics of fire as a power in high temperature processes for producing objects. The fire is used for smelting and casting in melting furnaces. Metal smelting furnace is a heat production device, which is used to purify the metal, in this case iron. This paper aims to determine the development of ferrous metal smelting furnace technology in Indonesia with the library research method from the results of previous studies. Based on the results of the analysis, there are four technologies for smelting iron, namely pit kiln, bloomery furnace, blast furnace, and induction furnace. Of the four technologies, three are in use in Indonesia, namely bloomery furnace, blast furnace, and induction furnace. Pengetahuan teknologi penggunaan logam tidak terlepas dari pengetahuan manusia dalam memproses pyrotechnology api sebagai tenaga dalam proses suhu tinggi untuk produksi benda. Api digunakan dalam proses peleburan dan pengecoran logam dalam tungku peleburan. Tungku peleburan logam adalah alat untuk memproduksi panas yang digunakan untuk memurnikan logam, dalam hal ini besi. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perkembangan teknologi tungku lebur logam besi di Indonesia dengan metode library research dari hasil-hasil penelitian terdahulu. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, terdapat empat teknologi tungku lebur besi, yaitu pit kiln, bloomery furnace blast furnace serta induction furnace. Dari keempat teknologi tersebut, tiga teknologi tungku lebur digunakan di Indonesia, yaitu bloomery furnace, blast furnace serta induction furnace.
