haut fourneau

Definition from wikipedia:
Un haut fourneau est un four à combustion interne, destiné à la fabrication de la fonte à partir du minerai de fer. Cette fonte est par la suite affinée par chauffage (décarburation) ce qui permet de produire de l'acier et des dérivés ferreux.
Example sentences:
À titre indicatif, en 1806, la production de fonte dans un haut fourneau est de 4 tonnes/jour, en 1850 elle passe à 15 tonnes/jour. (Wikipedia)
