# Industrial Specification: Alloying Station

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized station within an integrated smelting system where precise alloying of non-ferrous metals occurs through controlled addition of alloying elements.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.8-1.2 bar absolute pressure, 650-750°C temperature, ±0.5% alloy composition tolerance**. Failure boundary: **Pressure below 0.5 bar absolute causing gas entrapment, temperature exceeding 800°C initiating uncontrolled oxidation, composition deviation beyond ±2.0% creating brittle intermetallic phases**, Mechanism: **Gibbs free energy minimization driving phase separation at incorrect stoichiometry, Arrhenius equation governing oxidation rate doubling per 50°C above 750°C, Henry's law dictating gas solubility collapse below 0.5 bar**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **LMTD Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference**:

> **Primary Equation**: $Q = U \cdot A \cdot \Delta T_{lm}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Sizing validation for pasteurization and cooling tunnels.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
