Heat the object to the melting point of silver, which is 1763 degrees Fahrenheit (962 degrees Celsius).
- Heat the furnace to a temperature which exceeds the melting point of silver.
- Break large silver objects into smaller pieces and melt them in small batches to allow a more even distribution of heat which results in a quicker melting process.
- Places the pieces of silver into the crucible and maintain the heat of the furnace until all silver items have been melted.
- Lift the crucible with heat resistant tongs and pour the silver into prepared molds while the silver is liquid. You must complete this step quickly in order to prevent the silver from reverting back to a solid state while within the crucible.

How hot does it have to be to melt metal?
You need to define "metal"- since different metals have VERY different melting points. Mercury is melted at room temp. Gallium can melt in boiling water. Lead and tin are mixed as solder, and melt at fairly low temps. Gold and silver melt at moderate low temps. Aluminum is higher. Steels and hi temperature tungsten alloys will glow white hot before melting. So- which metal did you have in mind
At what temperature does acrylic melt?
160°
What is the melting loss per kilo gram of all metals?
melting loss very in all castings from 2% to 50%. If you melt aluminum pure ingots & cast within minimum holding loss is 2%. If you cast in small batches it will go up to 15%. If you melt aluminum scrap & cast within minimum holding loss is 15%. If you cast in small batches it will go up to 30% If you melt aluminum turnings & cast within minimum holding loss is 25%. If you cast in small batches it will go up to 50% melting loss very in all castings from 2% to 50%. If you melt copper ingots+zinc ingots & cast within minimum holding loss is 12%. If you cast in small batches it will go up to 35%. If you melt copper turning+zinc &chips & cast within minimum holding loss is 25%. If you cast in small batches it will go up to 50%
How do you mould thermoplastic?
Thermoplastics is molded by first subjecting them to heat which makes them melt. In their molten state, they can then be molded to make the products of choice.
Is silver used in manufacturing?
Silver, symbol Ag, is a shiny metallic element used for ornamental and coinage purposes since the ancient times. It is next only to gold in terms of malleability and ductility, and is also a good conductor of heat and electricity. In fact, silver is the best conductor of electricity, better even than copper and gold. Silver, like gold, is used in many facets of semiconductor manufacturing, again more particularly in the assembly or packaging processes. Most epoxy die attach materials contain silver fillers for increased thermal and electrical conductivity. Silver is also used to cover the surfaces of the die pad and bonding fingers of the leadframes of plastic packages to prevent chemical degradation of these areas, which may lead to die attach and bonding problems.Source: http://www.siliconfareast.com/semicon_matls.htm
Is it illegal to melt down silver eagles?

Is it legal to melt down 1964 Kennedy 50 cents coins for scrap silver?
Yes, it is legal to melt down silver coins for scrap. Many coin dealers and jewelry stores will buy them from you at melt prices along with refiners.

Can you melt down 925 sterling and get 999 silver?
Yes, you can melt down 925 sterling silver and refine it to reach a higher purity level, such as 999 silver. This process involves melting down the sterling silver, removing impurities through processes like cupellation or electrolysis, and then casting the silver into its desired form.
What is the melt down value of a silver dollar?
As of today $14.00 is current MV for US silver dollars
What is the melt value of silver quarters?
Currently about $5. This price will change as the price of silver goes up or down.
Is it legal to melt down US coins?
In the US, it is illegal to melt down nickels ( and technically half dimes, but the collector value of half dimes exceed their melt value) and pennies. All other denominations can be melted, though, in the current market, the only legal to melt coins that would bring a profit if melted down would be the silver coins which can easily be resold on the open market for a higher profit just selling the coins to investors than paying someone to refine the silver.
Can you put sterling silver in the oven?
No. The sterling silver will melt.
Can you melt silver quarters?
Yes, it is possible to melt silver quarters. Silver quarters are typically made of 90% silver and 10% copper, so melting them down can separate the silver from the other metals. However, keep in mind that altering currency in this way may be illegal in some jurisdictions.
