English term

taper

English to French Tech/Engineering Metallurgy / Casting aluminium
"the billet should be heated with a taper and controlled to ±5 °C"
"Reference Practice for taper heating is to heat the billet X °C for every X mm of billet length."
"A billet temperature taper can be achieved in a number of ways:-"
Je sais que "taper" fait référence à "conicité" mais là dans le cas présent je sèche et ne trouve aucune référence. je ne crois pas qu'il s'agisse de cône. Contexte: four à extrusion
donc il ne s'agit pas non plus de la dépouille d'un moule...

Brûleur et chauffe par étapes ou gradients Voilà ce que j'ai plus ou moins trouvé et surtout compris.
Notamment "brûleur" pour la première phrase et "chauffe par étapes" pour la deuxième. Ca me semble logique. mais peut être que j'ai complètement faux
Tony M Mar 28, 2009:
Yes, J, but... There is no way in any kind of 'industrial' situation you could consider heating a 'billet' of Al using a 'taper', for goodness sake, certainly not controlling its temperature +/- 5°C; it does say 'with a taper', which while not being particularly elegant language, does not (specifically) imply 'by means of...'

Taper From the first sentence heating using a "bougie" is a logical interpretation.
But, in the second sentence "taper-heating" looks like "temperature-graduated heating" as Tony points out.

gradation It seems to me to be talking about some kind of gradation of the temperature over length?

neutral Tony M : Although that is indeed a likely way of heating it, what is the connection with 'taper' here?
