surely a metal can be melt , but every metal has different melting points.
Not only will all metals melt, a few are capable of burning and require special fire extinguishers. Oddly, certain forms of carbon (diamond in particular) have higher melting points than most metals.
ADDED: "capable of burning". Combustion is a powerful exothermic oxidation, and some metals (and diamond) will burn if heated to incandescence in oxygen. This is the principle of oxy-gas cutting of steel: the white-hot iron burns rather than simply melts in the stream of oxygen..

Can chlorine gas melt stainless steel?
No, chlorine gas cannot melt stainless steel.
Will stainless steel melt in a fire?
Yes, stainless steel can melt in a fire if exposed to high enough temperatures. The melting point of stainless steel is around 2,500-2,700 degrees Fahrenheit.
Does steal melt in acid?
Steel is a metal alloy primarily composed of iron and carbon, which does not melt in acid. However, certain types of acids, such as strong mineral acids like hydrochloric acid, can corrode and dissolve steel by breaking it down into its constituent elements.
Is there a fire hot enough to melt steel?
Yes, there are fires that can reach temperatures high enough to melt steel, such as in controlled industrial settings like steel foundries or during certain types of large-scale fires such as those in building or vehicle fires. In these situations, the intense heat can exceed the melting point of steel, which is around 2,500-2,800 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the future tense for melt?
Will melt is the future tense of melt.
Will steel melt when touched by lava?
No. Lava is generally not hot enough to melt steel.
Can chlorine gas melt stainless steel?
No, chlorine gas cannot melt stainless steel.
Can jet fuel melt steel?
It can heat it enough to weaken it, but it won't melt it.
What chemicals to use to melt iron or steel?
which chemical is used to melt the iron
Could steel melt at 1000 degrees?
The melting point really depends on the type of steel. But no type of steel would usually melt at 1000 degrees (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
What is afoundry?
A steel or iron works, where they melt or cast steel or iron - metals
Will stainless steel melt in a fire?
Yes, stainless steel can melt in a fire if exposed to high enough temperatures. The melting point of stainless steel is around 2,500-2,700 degrees Fahrenheit.
What temp does steel barrel melt?
On 1375 °C.
How many KWh are needed to melt steel?
The amount of energy needed to melt steel is approximately 1,650-1,800 kWh per metric ton, depending on the type of steel and the specific melting process used.
How causes steel to melt ice?
There is no inherent property of steel that causes it to melt ice. Ice will melt if it comes in contact with something that is warm enough to melt it, regardless of what it is made of. One possible advantage that steel has is that, like any metal, it is a good conductor of heat. This would allow it to transfer heat more quickly than a nonmetallic substance.
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.
Can a handgun melt in a housefire?
It depends. A handgun that is made of all steel will not melt, but any handgun that has polymer or any plastic in it, the parts that are polymer will probably melt.
