The present disclosure discloses a heating apparatus for a semiconductor device. The heating apparatus includes a carrier including a first abutting part, a heat collecting plate at least including a working surface, and a heat radiation source disposed on a side of the heat collecting plate opposite to the working surface and separated from the heat collecting plate by a predetermined distance. The heat collecting plate is disposed on the carrier, and the first abutting part abuts against an edge of the heat collecting plate on the side opposite to the working surface. The heat radiation source is and configured to emit heat radiation during working and to heat the heat collecting plate in a non-contact manner. The heat collecting plate receives the heat radiation and the emitted heat and heats a heated object disposed on the working surface in a contact manner.

A method for the recrystallisation annealing of a non-grain-oriented electric strip (2) in a continuous annealing and coating line (1) is presented. Therein, the electric strip (2) is heated in an induction furnace (5) to a temperature of at least 680° C. at a heating rate of at least 80 K/s and then, in an optional second continuous furnace (8), to a temperature of at least 820° C. at a heating rate of at most 20 K/s. The electric strip (2) is initially heated before the induction furnace (5) via a first continuous furnace (3) to a temperature of at least 300° C. at a heating rate of at most 60 K/s.

Heat shrink wrap product packaging oven or tunnel apparatus and processing methods are provided which incorporate or utilize airfoils in conjunction with hot air-providing side walls to desirably control impact of hot air onto a product wrapped with a tube of heat shrink wrap film and being conveyed on a conveyor thereby. In such heat shrink wrap product packaging apparatus and methods, such airfoils can be movable, e.g., rotatably moveable, relative to the side walls to vertically alter an air impact point onto the product.
