    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall–Héroult_process

    Pure cryolite has a melting point of 1009 ± 1 °C (1848°F). With a small percentage of alumina dissolved in it, its melting point drops to about 1000 °C (1832°F). Besides having a relatively low melting point, cryolite is used as an electrolyte because, among other things, it also dissolves alumina well, conducts electricity, dissociates electrolytically at higher voltage than alumina, and ...

  6. Anodizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

    The melting point of aluminium oxide is 2050°C (2323K), much higher than pure aluminium's 658°C (931K). [6] This and the insulativity of aluminium oxide can make welding more difficult. In typical commercial aluminium anodizing processes, the aluminium oxide is grown down into the surface and out from the surface by equal amounts. [7]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_smelting

    Cryolite is a good solvent for alumina with low melting point, satisfactory viscosity, and low vapour pressure. Its density is also lower than that of liquid aluminium (2 vs 2.3 g/cm 3 ), which allows natural separation of the product from the salt at the bottom of the cell.

  8. Gold–aluminium intermetallic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold–aluminium_intermetallic

    Au 5 Al 2 has low electrical conductivity and relatively low melting point. Au 5 Al 2 's formation at the joint causes increase of electrical resistance, which can lead to electrical failure. [ 3 ] Au 5 Al 2 typically forms at 95% of Au and 5% of Al by mass, its melting point is about 575 °C, which is the lowest among the major gold-aluminum ...

  9. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.
