Physical Properties
Definition
The temperature at which a pure metal or alloy transitions from solid to liquid state at atmospheric pressure. Alloys often melt over a temperature range rather than at a single point.
Detailed Explanation
Tungsten holds the highest melting point of all metals at 3422°C, while aluminum melts at 660°C and lead at just 327°C. In alloy systems, the liquidus temperature marks the start of melting and the solidus temperature marks complete solidification. Understanding melting behavior is critical for casting, welding, and high-temperature service applications.
