Amperage needed to melt through a nail?

Sorry if there's an "ask tech" sort of sub, but…

How many volts or amps would you roughly estimate it would take to melt a nail in half? I'm thinking of this being done by simply attaching the leads of a DC battery or power source to either end of the nail. (Actually, might AC work better?). Thx.
