开坯是把厚料锤薄拉长。延伸(拔长):将坯料垂直轴线放置,锤击使其变细变长,每锤错开 90° 翻转以保证截面均匀。展宽:平放锤击使横向展开。要领:锤迹由中心向边缘、由厚向薄,保持厚度过渡平滑;随时回炉保温。铜的延伸率好,可拉成细长棒或薄片。

Drawing out thins and lengthens stock. To draw: orient stock perpendicular to the axis, hammer to thin and lengthen, rotating 90° each blow for even section. Spreading: hammer flat to widen. Rule: strikes from center to edge, thick to thin, smooth transitions; return to heat often. Copper's high ductility lets you draw long rods or thin sheet. ---
