AM> last time i checked, lead did not evaporate in air, even when molten.

It may or may not meet the definition of evaporation, but lead _does_
produce fumes when heated to the melting point.

Granted, a 50% weight loss is far in excess of anything one would see (short
of going to the boiling point and staying there for a while).

Allowing for a 5% loss would cover slag losses and everything else.


PO > Is there a simple formula that will let me know how much weight to
melt?    (ie) Melt 10 lbs of lead to get a 5 lbs P weight, etc.
