Metals weaken significantly and permanently long before they ever reach melting point. I don't EVEN want to get into this. Go get fucking Machinery's Handbook <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinery's_Handbook> at the library and figure it out for yourself. Cherry-picked inconsequential half-baked garbage data points... That's the (911) truth. Rr
