You may be thinking of aluminum plants which can’t be shut down and restarted without significant damage, but they are indeed still throttled up and down. In that case it’s electrochemistry at high temperatures to strip the oxygen off of aluminum. If it gets cold the apparatus gets damaged, but it can be throttled down a significant percentage.
