Will it melt nicaul alloy
886538
Never heard of nicaul alloy. A quick google search didn't give any results. Is it known by any other name or do you know the base metal in this alloy? If it has a melt and pour temp between 600 and 700 degrees F it should melt and pour in this pot.

Basically the answer is no, it won't get hot enough. These were designed for melting lead for bullets and fishing weights. Pewter can be melted as well.

It will melt if it gets warm. I put mine in the refrigerator when that happens. Otherwise no.

I haven't tried, but I doubt it! I am pretty sure it would melt. It is an instant read thermometer.

I can tell you that if it gets too hot it will melt and move around. I have gotten metal things back apart by heating it with a small torch. That's the only way I know of to get it melt a little. I've never found a solvent that will touch it.

Honestly I think it could melt low temp metals. I dont know the melting point of copper. On large pieces, given some time, I do think it would melt soldering materials. I hope this helps.

Id say NO, but I haven't tried to melt it that way. I think it needs a slow melt down. But contact the seller, he will answer all your quastions

Yes this unit can melt precious metals. The Programmable is geared more towards enameling, glass fusing and PMC art needing different temperatures and hold times in a single firing but not limited to just that use. The Quikmelt Pro models (top loader) are designed specifically for melting precious metals and come with a crucible and tongs. I would suggest looking into these for melting, but if you like the front loader design the RapidFire Pro non programmable would suite your needs for single high temperature firing.

Yes. Boil it to the point that is completely melted. Once it coils down clip the aluminum tab inside.

I have not done it, but the instructions say you can. No melting parts. I love this pan more every time I use it!

No, you can use it. It will not melt,its pretty thick and with stand the heat. Hope this helps!

It should as most lead free pewter is mostly tin, which melts at a lower temperature than lead. However for a definite answer you would need to know the alloy of the lead free pewter.

I used it with a Weller soldering gun to repair a leak in a stainless steel pan. It worked very well. The type of iron/gun that you need will depend on what you are soldering since you need to raise the temperature of the item to the melting temp, but it should work fine.

yes. but it is thick and very durable under normal usage. of course, it would melt. as plastic, it does not damage what it is gripping

It will definitely melt zinc, I use wheelweight lead alot and it has a lot of contaminants, as for the max temp I'm not sure. I'm going to guess around 1000 degrees but I know when you get it good and hot the coils and even the lead itself glow red in poor/dark lighting

Maybe, this smelting pot is meant for lead and pewter, which melts around 600-750 degrees Fahrenheit. Silver melts at roughly 1,700 degrees. Because this smelter doesn't specify how hot it gets and since I haven't maxed it out to find out I don't know. But probably not.
