We've been evaporating various metals (gold, aluminum, copper,
etc.) for several decades now in large-scale industrial settings.
The computer you are reading this on wouldn't exist unless people
could easily evaporate and deposit metal. Google is your friend.
The filament in your CRT (and/or the incandescent light over your
head) are both evaporating as you read this sentence. Good thing
they're in a vacuum. Else they would oxidize really quickly! :-)
