Aluminum melts around 1,220°F. Steel? Well past 2,500°F.
That's why aluminum can slump with no color warning, why it soaks up amperage, and why cleaning off the oxide layer before welding matters so much.
We stock it in sheet, plate, bar, tube, and angle, cut to size in Marietta. Full melting point guide at the link in bio.
