John,
This is not likely, you would have seen smoke. However the potmetal,
which is actually Zamak (zinc-aluminum) does scar or gall easily, and I
have seen any number of die cast Zamak parts (not necessarily Atlas) which
were mal-formed or incomplete due to cold flow in the mold. A combination
of these two could make them appear as though they were melted.
