Which metal turns itself from metal powder into metal wires without melting

[Lola]

After extracting the metal powder using FeSO4 from chlorine water and leaving the powder in the air for a long time, the metal powder itself turns into a silver-colored metal without melting. It looks like strands of wire.

Need a lot more information. What did you start with, ores, e scrap, Karat scrap? Then describe your processes, including chemicals.

There are a couple metals that will melt slightly above room temp, such as gallium.

Could that be a salt crystal ?

It's not crystal but metal, I'll take photos during the day.

Aluminum and mercury have a reaction similar to what you described.

How could I now reveal which metal it is exactly?

By providing more info as asked, investigating all circumstances and excluding all other possible known options, leaving you with only one.

Thank you

This does not get you any further.

What was dissolved in which acids?

Thank you

I agree with Martijn here, if you want to solve this you need to supply us with more information.
Starting material.
Processing steps and so on.

What diameter are the wires? Tin whiskers are one thing which grow by themselves from a concentrating solution.

A picture would go a long ways toward help also.
