CaptainPanic Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Think of white colored fireworks. Like Observer said: Magnesium burns white. So does titanium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recursive Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thermite makes you go blind, so... I would count that one too! Plus I think most things glow white at 3000 Celsius. At least there should be white glowing globs of molten iron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzwood Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 That would be the military term for white phosphor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 in my experience, White Phos is more of a gray/green fire than pure white. Ti, Mg, Zr, Al, Ce make good white "Fire". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daecon Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Do they burn with proper flames like wood or gas does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 not really, it all depends on their form (surface area is important). Flames implies Gas, and for the most part it`s the metal itself that`s burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
