What temperature does metal melt?

Answer 1

That depends on the composition of the penny. US pennies made before 1982 are mostly copper, and thus melt at a temperature of about 1981 °F. Pennies made after 1982 are mostly zinc, and will melt at about 787 °F.

Answer 2

It depends what metal you're melting. A good website that tells you a metal and its melting temperature is in the related links section below.

Examples in degrees celsius are;

Lead-327.5 C

Aluminium-660 C

Gold-550.5 C

Copper-1084 C

Nickel-1453 C

Iron-1535 C.

Answer 3

The melting point of metal varies depending on the type of metal. For example, iron melts at around 1,538 degrees Celsius (2,800 degrees Fahrenheit), while copper melts at around 1,085 degrees Celsius (1,984 degrees Fahrenheit).

Answer 4

That depends a lot on the metal or alloy out of which the coin is made. Different metals have been used, and are currently used, for different coins.

Answer 5

Its variable, depends on what kind of metal you are refering to.

Answer 6

That depends on the coin. A copper coin will melt at a different temperature than a nickel coin.

Answer 7

The penny is a copper plated steel coin.

The melting point of pure copper is 1084,62 0C.

The melting point of a low alloy steel is cca. 1450 0C.

Answer 8

2030degrees celsius
