Will this melt silver?

Maybe, this smelting pot is meant for lead and pewter, which melts around 600-750 degrees Fahrenheit. Silver melts at roughly 1,700 degrees. Because this smelter doesn't specify how hot it gets and since I haven't maxed it out to find out I don't know. But probably not.

This is a question for the manufacture, I would think in a convention oven it might melt.

hmmm... I seriously doubt it but don't know for sure. Depends on the melting point for copper. I think this pot maxes out at 900f. It's pretty much meant for lead.

I think it will melt tin, as that is often part of solder (lead solder). Aluminum has a higher melting point this unit cannot reach.

NO, it won't get that hot, you need a forge for that. Lead has a much lower melting point.

I'm not sure but it also did not clean silver well after soldering. I don't recommend it.

I don't know what the melt method is. Sorry I can't be of more help to you. Good luck.

I have not used this on silver. Only platinum and white gold. Some reviews have said that it was harsh on their silver. I would use caution and read their reviews first before attempting to use it.

No, you can use it. It will not melt,its pretty thick and with stand the heat. Hope this helps!

After it's melted compleatly it should pour into whatever you want. Just be sure to give it plenary of time to cool

No. It would melt. Only use it for covering things that are heated up in the microwave.

Jake thank you for your inquiry, the RapidFire can reach 2000 degrees and melt copper no problem however I do recommend looking at our Quikmelt furnace for your needs as those are specifically designed to melt metal. The Quikmelt includes a crucible and tongs which you will need anyhow and it is also capable of 2200 degree maximum temperatures. If you have further questions please feel free to ask, thank you!

No, this mold is made of aluminum, so the temperatures required to melt copper is much higher than what this mold can handle. I suggest an iron mold for what you want.

Ore of any metal is mostly rock you don't want, gold and silver especially, and is extracted chemically not by heat. It would take several tons of rock to get just one once of gold. I have not tried sand, but from experience I know sand won't melt as it is grains of silica, quartz, and other minerals. The metals that this furnace can melt are: Copper, gold, silver, aluminum, tin, lead, yellow brass, and red brass.

It is silver and non-magnetic, so I'm going with aluminum. Can't answer the other half of your question, I know aluminum can oxidize ...

It would melt the plastic if it is thin or cheap. This is a hot plate that heats to 200 degrees.

No it doesn't get hot enough. Lead melts at 621° Fahrenheit , silver at 1763° Fahrenheit, gold at 1948° Fahrenheit. You need a furnace for gold and silver and a graphite or similar crucible. They are pretty easy to make yourself check some youtube videos on making electric casting furnace.
