problem with mm overheating... fan?

Doesn't the type of aluminum affect the melting point (2032, 6061, 7075, etc)?

newe: Yeah, you were "close", but I was just letting you know the formula for future reference. ;)

No prob....all well and good sir. I usually use the burnt finger technique! :005: :013:

And yes, the grade of aluminum does matter when it comes to the melting point. The better the grade, the longer it takes to melt due to the higher temp it needs to be at. this has to do with the alloys in it to make it stronger. But the point I was making still stands I would believe. The info I sent is general and is used as a guideline.

I don't mind the burnt finger technique... as long as it belongs to someone else! :)

I thought the type of Al would make a difference on melting point. Maybe BP used a really low grade aluminum?

Then the quality would have been a tad more then solder....:eek:

lol. True.
