Burning, aka oxidation, happens in the presence of oxygen - it HAS to happen from the outside. Otherwise, it is just melted metal that reforms exactly the same once cooled off.

There's a lot to it. AC vs. DC has a definite difference in effect in conductors. (I'm an electrical engineer...)

So am I.. AC and DC sure do.. Just like which way does current flow positive to negative or negative to positive?

I just like to not except everything as gospel. Its just my nature. I will stick to the norms in the forum though for simplicity.

Thanks for the clarification..

The oxidation causes the resistance to increase thus starts the heat. Once the heat starts its only the matter of time before they melt down.

I am just waiting for it all to change.
