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

regular metal, chrome and stainless will 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 ****. (not all shift ***** 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.
