Li Linlin nodded with a smile and continued her explanation:
"The second step is the melting and casting phase: we take the metals we’ve selected and proportioned, and put them all into a furnace to melt at high temperatures. Once they are completely molten, we immediately use casting techniques to shape them into preliminary alloy ingots."
Wang Diren made the decision on the spot: "All right, then. Let’s start by purchasing a small furnace and preparing the necessary matching molds."
Li Linlin gave a slight nod, her gaze steady. "Exactly. First, these alloy ingots must undergo further hot and cold processing. Specifically, we can use hot working methods like hot rolling, die forging, and extrusion to shape their structure. For finer details or parts requiring high precision, we can use cold working techniques like wire drawing, machining, and bending to refine them."
