Production and Synthesis
Skull Melting
Skull Melting
Involves compressing ingredients into a puck, and using Induction Heating to cook the inside of the puck into CZ, structured like a brain in a skull.
Sintering and Annealing
Sintering and Annealing
An umbrella of methods involving heat treatment or controlled heating / burning to form solids and crystals. Often used for making polycrystalline media or annealing monocrystalline media.
