40d:Magma-safe
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Currently, magma-safe materials are known to include iron, steel, bauxite, and adamantine, but currently it is difficult to control magma flow with floodgates since mechanisms must be made out of rocks, most of which are non-magma-safe materials (Bauxite being a notable exception). [1]
Calculations
Steel has a melting point of 2710°F (1488°C), adamantine of 15000°F (8315°C). According to the raw data files, magma's temperature is somewhere between 1300°C and 1400°C, which translates to 2300°F–2500°F .
Other materials that might[Verify] resist magma:
Metal:
- Nickel — 2600°F (1427°C)
- Nickel silver — 2600°F (1427°C)
- Iron — 2680°F (1471°C)
- Platinum — 3000°F (1649°C)
Stone:
- Bauxite — 3600°F (1982°C)
- Raw adamantine — 15000°F (8315°C)
