So I bought this high pressure burner and used an old aluminum pan, I put all these stone setter wastes in this aluminum pan, covered it and fired up the high pressure burner stove. As soon as smokes starts to appear, I light the smoke and it ignited resulting to no foul fumes at all.
After about 30 mins the smoke was no longer igniting, so I figured the pyro is almost complete. Well, I waited another 15 mins and noticed that the bottom of the aluminum pan is starting to melt. So I stopped, separated the gold from it and threw the aluminum pan.
Lesson learned, don't use aluminum pan for pyro.
I know about aluminum melting point being low, but I didn't know that a high pressure stove could actually reach that temp. What where they planning to cook on that kind of temp?
Anyway, so I bought this stainless pan. Upon looking at the box its actually a 3ply clad, stainless aluminum then stainless. It is how actually most stainless pans are manufactured for better heat distribution.
Definitely I don't think this stove can melt stainless, but what will happen to the aluminum that was sandwiched?
If it melts will it deform? Expand and explode?
