What happens to the item level/heat when used to craft a new item

The wiki does not address that problem.

I know some items require an item "of level X or above", but beside that, the level is just lost, or a % is transferred to the new item, or something like that?

All newly crafted items start at level 1. So yeah, the level and heat on any weapons needed in the crafting is lost. You can keep your unique variants though, or try for new ones.
