2. The components of alloy making
There are ultimately four main steps to the production of alloys:
Raw material
Mixing and melting
Using an extraction process the raw material is mined from the earth's crust in various locations all over the world, it is then manufactured into powders or metal depending on the application required.
The material in this instance is loaded into a big machine called a strip caster where the metal is melted and mixed together. In this particular process, flake is formed by pouring molten alloy onto a rotating water-cooled copper drum to produce a rapidly cooled product with a specific microstructure.
