can steel boil and turn into a gaseous state?? if so how hot does it have to be for it to boil
I can't, but it can be done with the right machinery. For iron, it melts at 1538?C (2800?F) and boils at 2862?C (5182?F) Steel is an alloy of iron and various other materials, depending on which alloy it is. The boiling point will depend on the exact alloy and it's composition. Approximate boiling point for common steel is 3000°C (5400°F) .
The amount of heat needed can be generated. The heat on the surface of the sun is sufficient. Steel will break down before it gets that hot. The carbon in the steel will oxidize into carbon dioxide, or vaporize into carbon gas. The outer core of the Earth is composed of molten iron and nickel. Its also done in steel plants every day.
well what for yo? melting point of steel is 800 degrees, oxidation being 1400 degrees.
hahah umm ya u could boil steel but prob not at your house hahah and the boiling point of a medium carbon steel to be around 3000K
