what temperature does brass melt
Brass has a relatively low melting point compared to iron, steel, or gold, but it still requires a special furnace. Many beginning metalworking hobbyists start out with aluminum, which is easier to melt, but brass is often the next step.ost brass will melt at temperatures as low as 1,650ºF (900ºC), but a higher maximum temperature will give you a margin of error, and make the brass easier to pour. 1 Select a furnace large enough to hold the crucible and brass you intend to melt. 2 Consider the fuel you will be using. 3 3 Edit step.
