In industrial settings, the melting of gold is typically achieved using oxygen-acetylene or gas fusion, though butane torches are also a viable option.
Gold’s melting point stands at 1063℃, with a boiling point of 2970℃ and a density of 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter.
Melting gold necessitates a specialized torch capable of reaching temperatures above 1000 degrees to avoid causing harm to the gold.
