For example:
Pure Aluminum: ~660°C (1220°F)
Aluminum Alloy 2024: Melting range of approximately 502°C–638°C (935°F–1180°F)
Aluminum Alloy 5052: Melting range between approximately 607°C and 649°C (1125°F–1200°F)
Aluminum Alloy 6061: While a specific melting point isn't always given as a single value, it will be close to that of pure aluminum, around 660°C (1220°F), possibly with a narrow range. One source mentions that aluminum loses about half its strength by the time it reaches 315°C (600°F) and melts around 682°C (1260°F).
Aluminum Alloy 5L36: Listed with a melting point of 658°C (1216°F).
Therefore, while the general melting point of aluminum is around 660°C (1220°F), the exact melting point of a specific aluminum rivet will depend on the specific alloy it is made from. It's usually in the range of approximately 500°C to 660°C (930°F to 1220°F).
