There are many types of metal, and each one has a different melting temperature. Here is a list of the melting temperatures of some pure metals (in order of what melts first):

Mercury -37.89 F (-38.83 C [yes, that is very cold])

Aluminum 1,220.58 (660.32)

Silver 1,763.2 F (961.78 C)

Gold 1,947.52 F (1,064.18 C)

Copper 1,984.32 F (1,084.62 C)

Nickel 2,651 F (1,453 C)

Iron 2,800 F (1,538 C)

Some metals, such as steel or bronze, are alloys (mixed metals). They have their own melting temperatures, but I couldn't find that information.

You transfer heat to it, supplying the necessary latent heat of fusion and raising its temperature,
until its temperature exceeds that required for the change of state that you seek.

The exact temperature required depends on which specific metal you're using . . . it's different for
every metal. In fact, for the metal called "Mercury", any temperature above 38 degrees below zero
will do it, and Mercury is already a liquid at 'room' temperature.

It depends on the type of metal Iron: 2750 F steel: 2500 F aluminum:1220 F

Mercury is a liquid at room temperature. Gallium turns into a metal at very close to room temperature.
