The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.
Bismuth melts at 272 °C (521 °F) [21] Zinc melts at 420 °C (787 °F), [21] but importantly boils at 907 °C (1665 °F), a temperature below the melting point of silver. Consequently, at the temperatures needed to reduce zinc oxide to the metal, the metal is already gaseous. [23] [24] Arsenic sublimes at 615 °C (1137 °F), passing directly ...
The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.

The solidus is the locus of temperatures (a curve on a phase diagram) below which a given substance is completely solid (crystallized). The solidus temperature specifies the temperature below which a material is completely solid, [2] and the minimum temperature at which a melt can co-exist with crystals in thermodynamic equilibrium.
But the differences happen away from the minimum composition. Unlike silver with fineness other than 719 (which melts partly at exactly 780 °C through a wide fineness range), gold with fineness other than 800 will reach solidus and start partial melting at a temperature different from and higher than 910 °C, depending on the alloy fineness.
Why do after-school meltdowns happen? “It’s not really uncommon for kids to be ‘angels’ and incredibly well-behaved at school,” says Beresin, and then melt down the minute they come home.
the heat at which water boils vehemently (the temperature at which water begins to boil is given as an additional value in the description, as 33) 40: melting point of an alloy of one part lead, four parts tin and five parts bismuth 48: 3: melting point of an alloy of equal parts of bismuth and tin 57: 3 + 1 ⁄ 4: melting point of an alloy of ...
