Wouldn't that be true for everything then? 3,400C is pretty special circumstances in my book, yet we say tungsten melts.

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think adding heat is a special circumstance like adding pressure is. It's very easy to add heat to something. Adding pressure means building a sealed environment to enclose it's, and some specialized equipment to increase the pressure.

Adding heat requires that you burn something. That's it.

Yes, you have a point. However adding heat is often implicit when talking about melting stuff. However, if it requires 3400C, then the answer would probably include a comment about that.
