Prerequisites

What you need to understand first.

  • Reaction L2 (requires)
    Smelting: A high-temperature process that extracts metals from ore through a chemical reaction, resulting in the production of liquid metal for further refining and casting.
  • Material L3 (requires)
    Understanding material helps understand the metallic concept of smelting
  • Metal L3 (conceptual)
    Smelting is a high-temperature process extracting metals from ore by chemical reaction, producing liquid metal for further refining and casting.
