Actually, if you have a question like this, you should ask it at the "Reference Desk".--Koppas (talk) 21:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Melting temperature[edit]

For zinc, tin and lead the temperature given is for the melting temperature. This is almost certainly wrong, so if no better temperatures with references are given, these should be removed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:47, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Steel and Iron[edit]

The Temperature for Steel(normal and stainless) or Iron seems to possibly be wrong, as Steel generally has a significantly higher melting point (500~ F higher than Iron) with the exception of Wrought Iron, and would most likely also have a higher forging temperature.

Forging temperature = ~70% melting point?[edit]

The article says ..."For most metals, forging temperature will be approximately 70% of the melting temperature in kelvins"... Yet for all the example metals listed, none of the forging temperatures appear to be ~70% of the melting point (when converted to K). I mean, a few are somewhat close (76%, 64%) but even those are the minority. What is this approximation based on? Are the listed example metals all exceptions to this?
