Why you might you want to consider the melting point of a substance before choosing materials for frying pans or engine parts?

You would do this because you have to know how much heat it can handle to be able to have people use it

∙ 13y agoYou would want a product that can withstand the heat you intend it to be exposed to plus some, as a safety factor. You wouldn't want to make an engine if it will melt down the highway. Suppose just the surface of the part starts to melt under high enough temperature. Then if the liquid metal gets 'slung away' by the moving parts, then the part no longer has the same shape, strength and other characteristics that is is designed to have. A frying pan would have the same concern. If just a little of the pan melted while you're frying an egg, what happens to the liquid metal? Does it get mixed in with the egg, then you end up eating it...
