What is the fusibility of stainless steel?

Fusibility refers to the ability of a material to melt and flow when subjected to heat. Stainless steel typically has a melting point between 1,400°C and 1,600°C (2,552°F to 2,912°F), depending on its specific composition, particularly the proportion of chromium and nickel. While stainless steel can be melted and reshaped, its high melting point and the presence of alloying elements can make it more challenging to work with compared to other metals. Consequently, specialized techniques and equipment are often required for melting and casting stainless steel effectively.
