Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation | | German term or phrase: Ausglühen | A training program for a waste incineration plant.
Context examples:
Die Schlackenprobe wird bei 105 °C getrocknet, gemahlen und. Anschliessend folgt die Analyse durch **Ausglühen** während 1 Stunden bei 550 °C.
Massenreduktion durch **Ausglühen** bei 1550 °C
Thoughts so far:
I had seen the translation "annealing" but I think this is wrong for this context and applies for the material steel. The nearest I can get to it at the moment is "burning out", unfortunately this conflicts with "ausbrennen" which is also used so I am wondering whether these could be handled as synonyms or whether a differentiation should be made between "ausglühen" and "ausbrennen".
Thanks for your help in advance |

or "...by baking thoroughly".
Offered by Ernst WB der industriellen Technik, and I think I'd use it to avoid any duplication when it comes to translating "ausbrennen".
In addition, it sounds to me perfect for incinerating waste... |

| Note from asker to answererThanks to everybody for their carefully considered answers. It was a tough choice but I have decided to go for "thorough baking". I felt "burning" was too similar to "burning out". "Heating red hot" is a very good answer too but I felt it didn't work in every instance.

| by igniting/burning
Explanation:
my "Taschenwörterbuch fuer Metalloberflächenbehandlung"(Leuze Verlag) offers "ignite" as an alternative for "Ausglühen", so you could probably just say "by burning for one hour at ...", and save "burning out" for "ausbrennen"

40 mins confidence: |
| heating to red-hot, making red-hot, burning out
Explanation:
"Burning out" as you suggest would be fine. I don't think it will be misunderstood. But here is an alternative:
"The analysis then follows by heating the sample red-hot for 1 hour at 550 °C."
I cannot think of a transitive verb in English that is equivalent to glühen which in German can be both intransitive and transitive. The idea is that the sample is made glowing so that any remaining carbon or organic residue in the ashes get burned out (thus the "aus") of the sample.
