The Spanish Wikipedia disagrees with our entry — es.wiki claims that this term means “casting” (a certain manufacturing process), while our entry claims it means “smelter, smelting furnace” — but more to the point, the term doesn't seem to be in actual use, in either sense! —Ruakh TALK 16:43, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
