When steel is heated, its molecules vibrate more vigorously than normal, thus gaining more kinetic energy. As steel starts melting at 1450 degrees Celsius, the particles break free of the bonds that hold them in the lattice.

Steel expands when heated because the heat causes the atoms within the steel to vibrate more, increasing the spacing between them. This expansion can be measured in terms of thermal expansion coefficients.
