Enchanting

Enchanting is a broad subject, you can read more about it on Enchanting

Does the Superheating enchantment give smithing xp?

No.

Does the Superheating enchantment require all the ore and heat it normally requires to make an bar?

No additional ore or heat required. You mine one ore and produce one bar.

Does the Superheating enchantment require smithing level to smelt bars?

No. It can smelt any bar you can mine.

Does the Gathering enchantment work with Superheating?

Yes, if it activates at the same time it'll produce 1 bar and 1 ore of the ore you're currently mining

How do smithing enchantments work?

Inferno immediately grants another bar, using the normal ore requirement, the normal heat requirement, and grants the normal amount of experience. It can trigger whenever a bar is smelted, including right after an Inferno activation.

Efficiency grants another bar without using any ore or heat. It grants no experience. It can trigger whenever a bar is smelted including all subsequent Inferno activation.

Scholar grants more experience but destroys the item. If Inferno activates, the item will still be destroyed, still grant more experience, still take heat and ore. If Efficiency activates then you will obtain the bar and the normal experience.

Wealth destroys all bars, giving you the vendor value and more, depending on how much Wealth you have. Its Inferno and Efficiency rules are the same as that of Scholar. If wealth and scholar are used on a bar, it will grant more experience AND money, which will not destroy two bars or take extra ore.
