Can this unit melt gold & silver?

gold has a melting point of 1,064 degrees Celsius. this furnace is designed to operate around 450 degrees Celsius max. silver has a lower melting point but still not in the temperature range this unit is designed for.

This furnace does not get hot enough to melt gold and silver. It is designed for lead which melts at a much lower temperature.

No, I doesn't get hot enough for Gold or Silver. It is intended for lead and that is what it works well with.

Yes it can as I tried it when I first got it- I took pickers and some flour gold and mixed in with concentrate I had gathered from the stream. It does have to touch or be probably 1/32 to 1/8 " of the gold. I guess it was worth buying, BUT I always wonder what or how much better the white or some other brand works at the 100.00 to 250.00 range work in comparison???

No, it won't: its maximum temp is around 800 degrees F while gold melts around 1950 degrees F and silver around 1760 degrees F

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

Don't know have only done lead google melting temp of lead and of gold &silver; it gets plenty hot with lead

I'm not sure. I've used it to melt paraffin, and though it took a while since it's indirect heat, and we had to break apart the paraffin into small pieces, it melted it just fine. We had the water at a very high boil so the steam would heat the bottom of the silicone unit.

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..

Yes it can detect gold, silver, brass & copper...nickel & zinc clad objects...alongwith aluminum and dicast metals...

Highly doubt it, you'd need to be able to heat both pieces to melting point of solder. This tool will likely melt itself first and still not have enough power to do what you want.You may be better off with a propane torch like the kind used for plumbing.

hmmm... I seriously doubt it but don't know for sure. Depends on the melting point for copper. I think this pot maxes out at 900f.It's pretty much meant for lead.

No, this mold is made of aluminum, so the temperatures required to melt copper is much higher than what this mold can handle. I suggest an iron mold for what you want.

It should both metal have to have good heat to bind. Also this made for light metal or small pieces. I use it to solder horse shoe nails with silver solder. If you're using brass it will have to have a torch and the aluminum might as well. That is about all I can tell you.

Not at all. It merely removes the grime & "tarnish" buildup. It also, by using the other side, polishes the gold to a really nice shine.

You should be able to but gold does not get green if it is real gold. If it is an alloy the cleaner should work. T

Not sure, have just used it on copper. Would be afraid it might hurt silver.

Yes, both gold and silver but sometimes it detects aluminum and tin as silver. Not a bad detector for beginers.
