Sorry, pede. Pure aluminum melts at 1220.58 F. The MP of common alloys can vary but don’t exceed ~1250 F.
Sauce (there are two) - “The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics” and “The Condensed Chemical Dictionary”. I had a misspent youth as a chemist.
I have personally melted aluminum for casting over a blown charcoal fire.
A quick web search would have saved you from looking like a bullshitter.
Right, your article says PURE ALUMINUM, not aluminum with the oxide coating it naturally gets.
So, you think that a few ten thou of AlO2 is going to insulate the body of the chunk of Al from the 1400 F that a wood /charcoal fire generates? Also, IIRC, I quoted a figure for common alloys, many of which are eutectic. That’s one of then there SCIENCE words meaning the alloy exhibits a lower melting point than any of the constituent metals.
I guess you missed the part where I wrote that I have personally melted scrap Al alloy, to include chunks of wheels, over a wood and charcoal fire for casting. The fire was blown using a common lawn blower (sort of like a strong wind).
BTW, have you ever seen Al burn? I watched a 7200V Al power line knocked down in an ice storm bounce around until it hit a good ground in a puddle of salty water. It burned like a fuse right up to the pole transformer, which, BTW, exploded spectacularly.
