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.


Your crucible may need to be graphite to ground your metal for the
tig arc to work. Charlie
