MELTING POINTS

of some common metals

Temperatures are approximate.

metal degrees K degrees C degrees F
aluminum 942° 669° 1236°
copper 1357° 1083° 1982°
gold 1338° 1064° 1948°
iron/steel 1808° 1535° 2795°
lead 601° 328° 622°
nickel 1726° 1453° 2647°
platinum 2045° 1772° 3222°
silver 1235° 962° 1764°
tin 505° 232° 450°
titanium 1933° 1660° 3020°
zinc 693° 420° 787°

Note that the following metals are alloys of the above:

brass - copper/zinc
bronze - copper/tin; usually, 90%+ copper (common is 95%) [1]
electrum - silver/gold

Also note that although aluminum and titanium are quite common in the Earth's crust, they do not occur naturally in a metallic state. Their manufacture was not mastered until the 20th century. (Aluminum was first easily produced by Charles Martin Hall in the town of Oberlin, OH.)

[1] Sometimes metals other than tin are used, although tin is the most common.
