Inside the melting furnace, the light released by the metal powder in the mold was very bright, but it did not melt yet.
Both metal rhenium and metal tungsten are extremely heat-resistant with high melting points—this is one of the main reasons they are used to cast components inside a nuclear bomb. Simple heating alone cannot quickly change their form; additional operations are needed.
Apply pressure.
"Click!"
With a sound, Richard pulled down a lever outside the furnace.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
A slight humming noise started as the air pump began working, injecting inert gas argon into the sealed furnace to increase the pressure.
Finally, under the dual action of high temperature and high pressure, the metal tungsten and metal rhenium gradually melted, successfully sintering into Re-W alloy metal blocks.
...
Richard worked in front of the furnace for a long time, producing hundreds of sintered Re-W alloy components.
