colada, descarga de la colada

Explanation:
Como bien dices, aquí "tapping the heat" es vaciar el horno, evacuar el acero líquido. Esto en suderurgia es "colada", pero dado que colada tiene varias acepciones, cabría en este caso considerar también "descarga de la colada" para la lista de fases u operaciones que tienes (la operación 1 podría traducirse "inicio de la colada" para establecer la distinción frente a la operación 7)

Te invito a consultar http://oa.upm.es/272/1/RODRIGO_MULAS_GARCIA.pdf (tesis doctoral de terminología En-Es de siderurgia), página 384, apartado 3.5.3.30. Heat, donde el autor trata estos términos concretos.

Por cierto, recomiendo este documento como fuente de información muy útil en este campo.

Suerte, y un cordial saludo
