can it melt alumiunum

Not recommended and wouldn't want to try. The pot is designed for lead and some alloys of lead. Aluminum has a melting point much higher (1100 - 1300 degrees) than lead at 750 Degrees.

No, Lead & lead alloys under 750 degrees. Aluminum is over 1100 in the pure state.

Wikipedia tell me that 1220+ deg. is the milting point. No idea, good luck!

I was melting wheel weights at 800 deg. and the alumiunum weights floated to the top, so I'm going to say no!

I don't know what the melt method is. Sorry I can't be of more help to you. Good luck.

I didn't see it mentioned but almost for sure no. Look for dome transitioning solution to bond the al with cu before the wire nut

The melting point of gold is 1,948°F. The FX=901 high temp is 600 degrees F. Answer no this will not melt gold! It did OK with solder for a small job.

I don't see why you couldn't. There is nothing on it that could melt. I only use mine for stock and it is the perfect size for that. I really love this piece of cookware. May be a bit thinner than most Dutch ovens so could brown more around the edges.

no it won't melt if you use cfl 105 watts it's cooler, compared to the standard bulb but don't let the bulb near curtain or clothes that the time it would create heat but if you still in doubt try to use led bulbs

yes, you need to get an aluminum spool, use argon only, no mix, and preheat the object being welded

After it's melted compleatly it should pour into whatever you want. Just be sure to give it plenary of time to cool

I would doubt that you could use this in an oven the some is plastic so I believe it would melt

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

If you're asking about aluminum, no. I tried it and it only melts it. I had trouble cutting a 1/2" aluminum rod and the cut was horrible. Tried to cut a 1" square aluminum block and it barely cut 1/4" of it and it gummed up the blade. I was able to cut wood dowels though.

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's not going to melt unless the water is beyond boiling.

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

No. The temp is too low for aluminum. Check out charcoal smelter instructions online for a cheap, fun way to do that.

I haven't actually tried melting metals with this torch but I would imagine thinner sections could possibly melt - particularly non ferrous metals. The torch will silver braze which means metal surfaces are getting hot enough to cause some melding of parent metal and the silver brazing alloy. It is such a useful torch and seems to get the work piece much hotter than any regular propane torch I've had in the past - cherry red is a great heat indicator when brazing and this torch will get exhaust studs up to cherry red very quickly. I would just buy one because it is such a useful tool for the workshop and very versatile! It is so handy to have at your disposal a heat source capable of undoing seized parts and general silver brazing. It is very well made too! I highly recomemend it..

No, it won't melt. Basically it a giant roll of clinging plastic wrap. A larger version of the stuff one uses in the kitchen. So it has to be above the water boiling point temperature to melt.

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
