Reference

[edit]

This article appears to have been taken word for word from 'Engineering Materials, Volume 1 ISBN 0-583-31928' maybe this should be cited as a reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.193.171 (talk) 14:30, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fusibility scale

[edit]

In the gypsum article, fusibility is stated as "3", with a link to this article. What do the numbers mean? No explanation here... :-( --Janke | Talk 07:33, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well,I am finding if this is true.Looking forward to find. Dwight25 04:21, 24 September 2015 (UTC) Talk

Introduction

[edit]

There is a clear indication that a part of the last part was deleted, but the end of the sentence still remains. I don't have time right now to look into it, but can someone find out what information is needed//if that should be deleted? Dfcorrea00 (talk) 17:16, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar & interpretability

[edit]

The article opens with: "The fusibility of a material is the ease at which the material can be fused together or to the temperature or amount of heat required to melt a material.[1] ". I find that sentence not understandable. "Or" puts "..is the ease..." in parallel with "..to the temperature...". To be in parallel, both need to use the same gramatical parts, either 'is' or 'refers ... to'. I suppose I should edit it. jimswen (talk) 22:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No meaningful definition of fusibility

[edit]

This article doesn't give much logical meaning to the term it is titled with, 'fusibility'. Is it a common enough word to have an article? Should there be better examples of poor fusibilty? That "Heat Test" section says nothing about the test criterion. Should 'weldability' be compared somewhere? For solutions to any of those, will supporting references be findable? (If I edit in my common sense, it will be unsupported.) Apparently this article has been pondered by editors only rarely, and never fixed. The "Ash Fusibility" paragraph sounds meaningful, though. jimswen (talk) 22:31, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
