Yes, if the heat of the arc exceeds the melting point of the material arcing. For example, carbon rods are used in very old movie projectors to generate an arc as a light source; due to their high melting point, they do not melt from the arc. Switches and relays, though, use contact materials with a much lower melting point and can easily be melted by the arc. This is why such devices have a maximum current rating. Welding systems used to intentionally melt metals together, such as "stick" welding, MIG welding, and TIG welding, intentionally use an arc to create temperatures in excess of 4000 degrees F.

What are reasons for arcing at the commutator?
A shorted coil or shorted coils in the rotor will cause arcing at the commutator. It should also be noted that if the brushes are damaged badly enough where they make contact with the commutator, this can cause arcing. Oh, and let's not forget that a stuck brush or brush spring will prevent a brush from making proper contact with the commutator. Arcing can result from that, too.
What will most likely cause arcing at a switch contact?
Arcing at a switch contact is most likely caused by loose or corroded connections, excessive current passing through the switch, or a defective switch mechanism. These conditions can create an unstable electrical path, leading to arcing between the switch contacts.
What could be the cause of arcing between the buss bar and a breaker?
Arcing between the bus bar and a breaker could be caused by loose connections, excessive load on the circuit, corrosion or physical damage to the components, or poor installation. It is important to investigate and address the root cause promptly to prevent damage and ensure safety.
What is the melting point of pex tubing?
The melting point of PEX tubing is typically around 250-260 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to note that prolonged exposure to temperatures above its melting point can cause the tubing to deform or break down.
Is antartika occean is full of glacier?
Yes, the Antarctica ocean is full of glaciers. However, over the years the glaciers are melting away. The cause of the melting is said to be global warming.
What is arcing length in steel melting?
Please rephrase the question. Are you describing an electrical furnace or the welding process?

Do divergent boundaries cause island arcing?
No. Divergent boundaries cause mid ocean ridges (MORs) to form.
What are the two reasons for arcing at the commutator?
A shorted coil or shorted coils in the rotor will cause arcing at the commutator. It should also be noted that if the brushes are damaged badly enough where they make contact with the commutator, this can cause arcing. Oh, and let's not forget that a stuck brush or brush spring will prevent a brush from making proper contact with the commutator. Arcing can result from that, too.
Can loose notted wires cause fires?
Loose wires can cause fires by arcing or sparks flying into combustible material. I don't know about the "notted" aspect unless it is a typo and means ROTTED. In that case, yes rotted wires can also cause arcing or sparks too.
Do electrical plugs cause sparks that start fires?
they can because bad contacts can cause arcing which can ignite combustible material near by.

Does melting and boiling cause physical changes?
Melting and boiling are physical changes.
What force cause runoff?
melting snow
What cause weak spark on 4.3 liter cheverolet what cause weak spark in 4.3 liter Chevrolet and will this cause it from starting?
either the distibutor cap or the ignitoin coil, but check to see if the coil wire is arcing on the transmission dipstick tube!!
Should a 24vdc circuit create arcing to use as a switch or signal?
Some voltage must be present but the current causes the arcing.
