Default Can I use a TIG welder to melt metal in small crucibles?

The subject says it all. I wonder if I can use a tig torch to melt
metal in little (or not so little) crucibles. With at least 5kW at the
arc, I could melt pretty big stuff.


First of all, I don't have a clue...

Secondly, would it be possible or better to use
the stick setting and 2 carbons to melt the metal?
