Can someone tell me what tempature is required to soften and melt theese metals please?
Thanks!:-)
Aluminum
Iron
Steel
Again I need the minimum tempature to be able to make them soft enough to bend&the tempature needed to melt the metal
Answer:
Melting point of iron
1539 degrees C (2082°F); melting point is reduced several hundred degrees by carbon and phosphorus content
Average melting point of steel; this varies depending on the amount of carbon.
1370 degrees C (2500°F).
Melting point of aluminum
660 degrees C (1220°F).
As for "bending", tempering and forging are complicated processes that can't be explained here. You might want to get a book (or two or three) on these processes. If you have a blacksmith in your area you could also speak with him.
i cant really find a bending temperature, but melting points are 1220F for alum, 2800F for iron, and steel really depends on the alloy, but typically its 2800F also
Melting point of Aluminum is 660C
Melting point of Iron is 1535C
Steel is a generic name for several different ferrous alloys. All will be pretty close to the melting point of iron.
