Melting Point of Common Metals, Alloys, & Other Materials
What is a melting point?
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure; at the melting point, the solid and liquid phases exist in equilibrium. A substance's melting point depends on pressure and is usually specified at standard pressure in reference materials. The melting point is also referred to as liquefaction point, solidus, or liquidus.
Melting points of common materials
Melting point of steel: 1425-1540 °C / 2600-2800 °F Melting point of gold: 1064 °C / 1947.5 °F Melting point of copper: 1084 °C / 1983 °F Melting point of iron: 1538 °C / 2800 °F Melting point of lead: 327.5 °C / 621 °F Melting point of silver: 961 °C / 1761 °F
