To know how fast this will melt you need to know the amount of stainless steel and the temperature of the stainless steel at the beginning. Then using the formulas of energy needed to heat it (Cp, I think) and melt it (enthalpy) you can calculate when it will melt.

∙ 13y agothe main component of steel is iron. atoms of iron have a strong metallic bond among themselves forming a hard solid lattice. To break down the metallic bond, a large amount of heat is required, which is why steel (or iron) takes a lot of time to melt when heated. Additionally, carbon in steel increases its brittleness, and makes it hard, which may also be a factor in increasing its lattice strength and hence its melting point.

Does stainless steel flatware contain 925 silver?
No. It's just steel no silver at all. If it is silver plated it will say so, but that does not mean it contains silver. A plus A nicely made set of stainless steel flatware may not be silver, but you don't have to take it out of it's presentation box once a month to polish it.
How long does it take ice cubes to melt in a glass on the counter?
it would probably take about five minutes for the ice cube to actually melt

Why is the Tools of the Trade Belgique stainless steel more expensive than the copper bottom Belgique at Macy's?
The copper bottom pieces are easier to make than the stainless steel ones. The stainless steel pieces actually have a copper bottom, but it's clad on the bottom and a stainless steel skin is welded over it. Notice how there is a little "pedestal" on the bottom of the stainless pieces? Yup. That's the copper insert sandwiched on the bottom. And you know the difference as far as cleaning them, yes? Copper always seems to take a little more work. But gosh, doesn't it look nice! Belgique makes some good looking pieces. Yes, indeedy. Best of luck making your choice. Bon appétit!
How long does it take an ice cube to melt outside?
Depends on how hot or cold it is outside. Probably never melt at the south pole.
How long it will take for steel to melt at 370 degrees c?
It depends on the composition of the steel as there are many different grades and types of steel.
How long does it take for Stainless steel to decompose?
There are steel horses over Vantage, Washington (Grandfather releases the ponies) that are expected to last 50,000 years. Stainless steel might last even longer, depending upon the grade. Stainless steel encased in a thick, airtight glass case should last practically forever. Stainless steel wire dragging behind a tractor trailer on a northern deiced coastal freeway, however, might only survive a few days.
How long will it take for ice to melt on a steel surface?
55 mintunes 25 seconds and 73 out 100 of a second this save you time
Are large stainless steel kitchen appliances hard to take care of?
No they are not hard to take care of as long as you stay on top of the cleaning with them. They can become a real pain when they are left alone for periods of a time.
I need a stainless steel dutch oven - where can I buy one in Spokane, Washington?
Your best bet for finding a selection of stainless steel dutch ovens in online. You can have one delivered right to your door in Spokane. Take a look at the model available here, http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Contemporary-Stainless-Steel-8-Quart/dp/B003V5ZFB0.
What is the best way to take care of the stainless steel finish of the Bunn coffee brewer?
The best way to take care of a stainless steel Bunn coffee brewer is to make sure you clean it and wipe it down after use. This will wipe away coffee oils and prevent stains.
How long does it take for ice to melt in water?
it takes 2 minutes for it to melt
Why do iceburges take long to melt?
I assume you mean "iceberg". If they are large, they will take a long time to melt, since they can only melt at their surface.The time it takes them to melt will also depend on the temperature - as well as the shape of the iceberg.
Is a porcelain stove top easier to clean than a stainless steel stovetop?
Porcelain cookware cannot endure direct contact with heat especially with high heat. It might melt if being exposed to high heat for a long period of time. It is better used on low heat. If being dropped, porcelain cookware might chip or crack. It's not an ideal to use porcelain cookware on glass cooktop as it might melt if being exposed to high heat and will cause damage to the cooktop. Porcelain cookware comes in an assortment of colors and patterns. On the other hand, stainless steel cookware can resist to high heat. It can be exposed to heat for a long period of time. It doesn't get chipped or cracked if being dropped. It can be used on any kind of cooktop and in the oven. Stainless steel cookware only comes in metal-colored.
What are the difference between stainless steel and ordinary steel?
Some stainless steel is non magnetic, like the 300 series which contains a good bit of nickel which makes this series non-magnetic, but the 400 series does not have nickel and are thus magnetic, so you cannot differentiate between this series of stainless and regular carbon steel using a magnet. If the sample in question rusts easily, then it's probably regular carbon steel, though there are some high carbon steels like D2 tool steel for example, which have a high enough percentage of chromium (D2 has 11% to 13% generally) which make them 'almost' stainless and thus they don't rust as easily as a high carbon steel like O1, which does not have enough chromium (.50%) too inhibit oxidation and thus it rusts quite easily. The only other means to tell whether you have stainless steel or regular carbon steel would be by performing a spark test which could tell you whether you have stainless or regular carbon steel or sending a sample out for metallurgical analysis.
