You think slowly and type quickly.
I don't get it. Please let me know, thanks.

1) There is no reason to desire it in your version.
2) Microwaves don't penetrate metal (skind depth).
3) We already have several variants of induction heating. If
cleverly executed, the crucible's contents stir themselves.
4) Your cooling argument is specious.

What I suspect that Al is suggesting is that even if you were stuck
with a slow and hard to cut off heating technology, such as a
furnace, you could just remove your melt from the furnace and
transfer it to your quick-chilling device. Quick cooling simply
doesn't require quick cut-off of heating.
