Below is a table of elements used, ordered by boiling point. Beryllium has the lowest boiling point at 2742K. Zirconium has the highest melting point at 2125K. This means the furnace temperature was greater than 2125K. TIG temperature ca

Thomas Piketty's book, "Capital in the Twenty-First Century", has a bit to say on this. It argues that historically, and increasingly so today, the return on capital exceeds the return on labour. This means wealth is a posit

My understanding is that if you want to put metal in a microwave keep it away from the walls . If not, you can get an arc jumping from the metal to the wall and it can burn a hole in the wall of the oven. You should also put something (eg

FT8, CW and FT4 are all types of modulations, or ways of imprinting information onto a radio signal. They offer different performance under different channel conditions. 14080Kc ( = 14080 KHz = 14.08 MHz), 10136 (=10.136 MHz) and 7074 (=7.
