The melting point really depends on the type of steel. But no type of steel would usually melt at 1000 degrees (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
Without specifics I can only guess. Based on your description I would guess the "Red Hot" is the catalytic converter. The converter does normally become extremely hot, about 1000 degrees F. If the car is running poorly and emitting high levels of pollutants, the converter temperature can reach as high as 2000 degrees F. In this case the converter innards will melt and destroy the converter.
From high school science class; it takes 144 BTUs to melt a pound of ice. That takes it to 32 degrees F. To then raise the temp to 72 deg., would take about 40 more BTUs.
air does not melt.
Old computers *should* be recycled. Computers contain many hazardous materials, including mercury and lead, as well as many recyclable metals, such as gold and copper. Motherboards in computers get crushed down to a powder, then heated up to different temperatures to melt off the plastic first, then higher temperatures to melt out the different metals.
Depends on what pipe you are asking about. Most pipe such as PVC has a max heat rating for internal and external temperatures. this is why regular white PVC should never be used for hot water from a hot water heater which can be 120 degrees (F) or more and melt regular PVC. That is why they recommend using CPVC which has a higher temperature rating. Depends on what pipe you are asking about.

It depends on the composition of the steel as there are many different grades and types of steel.
Yes, stainless steel can melt in a fire if exposed to high enough temperatures. The melting point of stainless steel is around 2,500-2,700 degrees Fahrenheit.
Depends on the metal, but for steel it is hot enough to melt the steel- and steel melts at 2600-2800 degrees F.
Construction grade steel burns at 2795 degrees Fahrenheit. Jet fuel does not burn this hot. Its maximum temperature is 1472 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stainless steel is used to make firewalls on airplanes because of its high melt point. It does not melt until it reaches 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit, which is higher than most fires.
No. Lava is generally not hot enough to melt steel.
To know how fast this will melt you need to know the amount of stainless steel and the temperature of the stainless steel at the beginning. Then using the formulas of energy needed to heat it (Cp, I think) and melt it (enthalpy) you can calculate when it will melt.
No, chlorine gas cannot melt stainless steel.
Chalk would not melt on the sun as temperatures on the sun's surface can reach up to 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit), which is far above the temperature at which chalk would melt or burn.
At 1000 degrees, many materials can start to melt or combust, depending on their composition. Some metals may start to soften, while organic materials like wood can catch fire. It's important to handle materials with caution at such high temperatures to prevent injury or damage.
that would be steel!Tungsten has a far higher fusion temperature than steel.I believe that steel doesn't start to melt until 2400 to 2500 degrees Fahrenheit.Tungsten's fusion point is 6192 degrees Fahrenheit.
Depending on the type and chemistry of the rocks involved, lava temperatures could range from approximately 1200 F to 2300 F (700 C to 1300 C), of course, in some parts of the mantle, rocks gets a lot hotter.
