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..

Does steal melt in acid?
No, for steel to melt it has to be heated up to the correct temperature. However steel does react with many acids to be eaten away as it is converted into other chemical compounds.
Is there a fire hot enough to melt steel?
yes that is how anything made of steel is made, like swords
Are all metals flammable?
No Iron, like most metals, is very unflammable and will only melt at high temperatures but not catch fire actually i just learn in science class steel wool has traces of iron and steel wool can be burn and if put in a container filled with pure oxygen it can self combust
Does steel copper brass aluminum or nickel melt the fastest?
I would think heat conveys much like electricity, the greater the number of "free' electrons the less resistance to the heat , therefore copper would be faster then the other three choices.
What is the future tense for melt?
Will melt is the future tense of melt.
Will steel melt when touched by lava?

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 temp does steel barrel melt?
On 1375 °C.
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.
Does steal melt in acid?
No, for steel to melt it has to be heated up to the correct temperature. However steel does react with many acids to be eaten away as it is converted into other chemical compounds.
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.
Is there a fire hot enough to melt steel?
yes that is how anything made of steel is made, like swords
What are some physical changes with steel?
Some physical changes with steel occur when you melt the steel or when you crush steel.
Can steel be melted in a coal forge?
No, a forge is not hot enough to actually melt steel. However it is hot enough to make steel pliable .
