Ingot (Electrum)

Description

Ingot (Electrum) is a metal alloy. It is used in crafting of various ship parts and electronics. Based on the real-life alloy under the same name (though the latter being a generalized term without a broad industrial use), Electrum combines chemical stability of Gold, lower density of Silver, and the excellent electric conductivity of both, for the use in advanced machinery that requires an increased power throughput.

Obtaining

It is created by smelting equal parts Gold and Silver in a Furnace. The process is similar to the smelting of Solder, however instead of relatively low temperature, Electrum demands a low chamber pressure with a standard operational temperature. The simple approach involves a burning of small amount of fuel to reach the necessary temperature (or injection of atmopsheric gas on hot planets), followed by a controlled release of gas to lower the pressure down to an appropriate range.

Nevertheless, Stationeers should be mindful of releasing the gas from the Furnace while ignition is still in progress, as burning exhaust may presents an immediate danger to any nearby equipment and the players themselves.
