It depends on what steel it is.

There is Carbon steel and stainless steel (And perhaps others, but these are the main divisions).

Carbon steel has a melting point of 1425-1540 degree centigrade (2600- 2800 degree Fahrenheit).

Stainless steel on the other hand has a melting point of about 1510 degree centigrade (2750 degree Fahrenheit).
== == Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500 °F). This varies depending on the specific steel alloy. The specific heat of steel varied from 420J/KG/Deg C at room temperature to 720J/KG/Deg C at 1535 deg C. This equates to a theoretical heat requirement of approximately 375KWh/mt to melt steel from room temperature. In practice, foundries use between 500 and 800 KWh /mt to raise steel to a little above its melting point of 1535deg C.
