Since there has been a spike of evolving items threads (I guess because people are transmuting their items), I decided to just compile this for now and the future, though I should have done it nearer to 3.2 update. tldr at the bottom.
I know there is the ITEMs FAQ (
https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/items-faq.4/) but this thread is a bit clearer ish.
Evolving- What is it?
Items upgraded to level 10, 20, 30 and 40 cannot be upgraded further unless they are evolved. Evolving allows you to continue leveling your item to increase its power. Depending on the item rarity evolving can unlock perk slots.
You can see the requirements at the bottom of the item itself e.g:

To evolve an item you will need:
- A duplicate item of the same rarity (This can include a level 1 item, items between level 1-10 that are still tier 1 and items with perks still on (although you will get a notification that perks are still attached). See below)

- The evolution talent from a crew member
- Power cells
- Gold
A total of
five duplicates are needed to get a tier 5 item. Note that you will need two instead of one duplicate for the final tier 5 evolution.
(I would recommend not to upgrade your duplicates since you are not "refunded" your parts or sugar and remove any perks for future use).

Any items that are at tier 2 and above
cannot be used for evolution. So at the moment, sadly you can't use two tier 2's to make a tier 4.

Happy upgrading!
If anything here is wrong or unclear just post it down below, I'll edit it.
