Depends on how brittle the metal is, what kind of metal it is, how strong the person is, and how big of a piece are you talking about.

yes a man can break metal but he needs the right equiment but if a man uses his hand it is impossible

What is the job of the Sheet Metal Break?

A sheet metal break is a piece of machinery it allows bending of sheet metal. There are two types of break, a cornice break and a box and pan break. A cornice break only allows for simple bends where a a box and pan break allows for sheet metal to be made in to box and pan shapes. It can also be referred to as a bending machine or bending break.


How did man discover that metal could be melted?

Man discovered that metal could be melted through the process of pottery firing, where temperatures high enough to melt metal were reached accidentally. This led to experimentation with ore smelting and the discovery of techniques to intentionally melt and shape metal.


What causes metal to rust?

Metal rusts when it comes into contact with oxygen and water, which leads to a chemical reaction called oxidation. This reaction causes the metal to break down and form a reddish-brown substance known as rust.


Is smelting what causes a metal to separate from it's ore?

Yes, smelting is a process that uses heat to extract metal from its ore by melting the ore and separating the metal from the impurities. The high temperatures help break the chemical bonds between the metal and the other elements in the ore, allowing the metal to be collected.


What metal oxides decompose when heated?

Some metal oxides that decompose when heated include lead(II) oxide (PbO), mercury(I) oxide (Hg2O), and copper(II) oxide (CuO). When heated, these metal oxides break down into their respective metal and oxygen gas.
