How hot would it take to get that "burnt" metal look?
 
I am just wondering. Like if I grab a propane kit and have a go at the tube, you think it would give that blueish tint? haha

Just wondering.

Ya, I am just bored. Want to see if that is doable. heh

make sure its stainless you are playing with and its kinda gotta be an even heat and consistent

ya, stay away from galvanized, the fumes can kill you..
aluminum will just melt..

regular metal, chrome and stainless will blue

as asked earlier, what are you trying to blue??

I used regular propane torch on aluminum pipe, the colour didn't change one bit. I think I need something as hot as welding arc to make it change.

ALUMINUM WILL MELT!

it is a soft metal. like stated above you would need to do this to a chrome stainless steel like object, i.e: muffler tip , or shift knob. (not all shift knobs tho!)

As I tested, propane torch (the ones you buy at CT) has no effect on aluminum.

Not hot enough.

I know welding arc will melt aluminum if done unprofessionally.
