The Melting Points of 80 Elements, Substances, and Metal Alloys

This infographic from Alan's Factory Outlet explores the science of melting points, as well as the freezing points, and the temperatures that are required to melt eighty well-known elements, substances, and metal alloys. The melting point determines when a substance will change from a solid to a liquid state, and while the freezing point is the same temperature it will cause the reverse reaction to occur where a liquid becomes a solid.

Some of these naturally occurring materials can require thousands of degrees worth of heat to reach this point. Sterling Silver must reach a temperature of 1,640°F to change from a solid to a liquid, while Quartz’s melting point is almost double that at 3,038°F.

Although neither come close to the melting point of Tantalum Carbide, a whopping 6,960°F! On the other end of the spectrum, Hydrogen has the lowest melting point at a cold -434°F, close to the -458°F temperature of the Boomerang Nebula.
