Be careful where you start melting stuff, you are talking temps in excess of 1800F. Best done in an open shop with a concrete or dirt floor and not an wood frame apartment!! What do you need to do it for? GO to a local junior college that has a welding shop, see if you can take a class, bring it in as a class project. Borax is a good all around flux.
