Question

What is the melting point of ordinary steel?

Answer 1

That depends on the alloy of steel you are talking about.  Most steel has other metals added to tune its properties, like strength, corrosion resistance, or ease of fabrication. Steel is just the element iron that has been processed to control the amount of carbon. Iron, out of the ground, melts at around 1510 degrees C (2750°F). Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500°F).

Answer 2

steel would melt at temperatures of only about 500F (250C).

Answer 3

1540 degree Celsius
