I think you will find that they werent 1 inch thick, by the way. Quote: No the question does not remain, sulfur dioxide does not melt or vapourise structural steel. You keep introducing terms like these, yet the very analysis of the samples shows that the steel never "melted" or "vaporised", it was chemically attacked at a far lower temperature than the melting point of steel. SO2 is well known for corrosive attacks on steel, you dont have to research very hard to find this out. This took about 2mins to find. The article also mentions that temperature plays an important part in the rate of corrosion by SO2. http://tinyurl.com/6mdb6e BTW. Let me know when you have found a result from a thermitic reaction that ... 1) even looks vaguely like those photos you have posted 2) reacts at around 1000deg C. I await your evidence.
