Molten aluminum into cold water

Experiment to see what a couple pounds of molten aluminum in a steel crucible would do as it is dumped into 5 gallons of cold water.

If you look at a phase diagram for steel (do a google search) you will see that the highest melting point for steel is 1538 deg C. Some common aluminum alloys can melt as low as 1100 deg C. I guess that we were below 1400. It is tough to get all the way to 5000 deg C while playing in your driveway.

Now lets put water in molten aluminum!!. under the surface of the metal. KABOOOOOOOM

it wasn't boiling so vigoriously from before because of the liedenfrost effect

Again, but throw it on a giant block of ice and listen to it scream.

I want to see that thing in a swimming pool.

[mikee286]

should do this again but with liquid nitrogen instead of water

[daewooparts]

hope you scrapped the aluminum for scrap metal money when done !
