Good question. There are a few simple answers. Most solders begin to become "plastic" at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit and melt at slightly higher temperatures than even that.
If you are asking about a hot water heater: If you are operating your water heating system at that temperature the water will have already boiled off and most likely the heater will either have exploded, the P/T relief valve dumped or both.
If you are asking about an electric heater, do not try to melt solder on it. The heating element is electrically "hot" and could present an extreme shock hazard.
The best way to melt solder is with with a soldering iron or some kind of torch.
Hope this helps

How many btu's are required to melt copper?
To melt copper, approximately 1,200 BTUs (British Thermal Units) are required for each pound of copper. This value accounts for both the heat needed to raise the temperature of the copper to its melting point (about 1,984°F or 1,085°C) and the latent heat of fusion. The exact amount can vary slightly based on the specific conditions and purity of the copper.
Why are current and resistance kept very low?
It depends in which application, in motors you want to keep amperage low so that the brushes will last (and not melt) and so the armature coil can maintain temperature (along with the field coil) Let me know which application you mean! Otherwise, in general, amperage kept low is good so that you can keep wire temperature low and maintain the electronics you're dealing with.
What is fusing current?
The fusing current is a value of current that causes the fuse to melt and interrupt the flow of current. Usually, reference is made to the minimum fusing current which is the smallest value of current that will cause the fuse to melt.
How do you fix insulation melt back on wire?

Why should you NOT repair heating elements by soldering?
The solder will most likely melt at the operating temperature of the heater.
What temperature does solder melt at?
180oC to 190oC common but can vary
What is the purpose of temperature sensor in car?
so when your using the heater it show how your engine is and if its on red turn on the ac fast or your car will over heat and stuff will melt
What sterling silver to use for soldering jewelry?
Typically one solders sterling silver with silver solders. There is not a solder called "sterling solder." You can choose from an array of silver solders ranging from easy (extra soft) through hard. Soft solders have lower silver content and melt at a lower temperature. Hard solders have higher silver content and flow at higher temperatures. If you are doing multiple solder joints on a single piece of solder you will need to use several grades of solder. However, if you are just creating a single solder joint than it is best to use a soft or medium solder.
if there is high temperature on the pole then why ice not melt?

When does skin melt?
Skin does melt at the temperature of 200 degrease C.
Does MDMA melt?
No, MDMA does not melt. It is a solid crystal at room temperature.
What substances melt at room temperature?
ice can melt at room temperature. Anything that is liquid at room temperature would, in its frozen state, melt at room temperature. Oils, beverages and mercury - if in a frozen state - would melt when exposed to room temperature.
