2040 – 04 – Finding Melting Points

The temperature where a metal changes from a solid to a liquid is its melting point. The opposite of the melting point, when a metal changes from a liquid to a solid, is the freezing point. Pure metals have freezing and melting points that are often very close in temperature. To picture this idea, imagine an ice cube is your pure metal. Ice melts and freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. If your ice cube is at negative ten degrees Celsius, then you heat it up ten degrees, it will melt. If it’s at 4 degrees Celsius, and you cool it down to 0 degrees Celsius, it will re-freeze. For pure metals, the freezing and melting points are the same. Pure metals need extra energy to melt from a solid to a liquid. This extra energy is referred to as fusion. Because they combine a variety of materials, metal alloys melt differently than pure metals. The process is much slower and has different terminology: – The liquidus marks the point at which the alloy is entirely melted – The solidus marks the point at which the alloy begins to melt. 👉 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘇 https://sawbladeuniversity.com/videos... 👉 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝘄𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆.𝗰𝗼𝗺 https://sawbladeuniversity.com/register/ Create your FREE account today and get full access to 300+ lessons in precision metal working, which can include training in tool and die making, welding and sheet metal working. 👉 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝘄𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲.𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀    / sawblade   Follow Our Social Media: Facebook: @sawbladecom Instagram: @sawbladecom_ Twitter: @SawBladecom Visit Our Websites: https://sawblade.com https://sawbladeracing.com https://sawblade.tv #SawbladeUniversity #Sawbladecom #SawbladeTV
