Construction grade steel burns at 2795 degrees Fahrenheit. Jet fuel does not burn this hot. Its maximum temperature is 1472 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can jet fuel melt steel?

It can heat it enough to weaken it, but it won't melt it.


Will steel melt when touched by lava?

No. Lava is generally not hot enough to melt steel.


Does jet fuel melt steel beams?

It doesn't dissolve steel beams, but jet fuel can under some conditions burn hot enough to at least soften steel beams, which can cause them to collapse if they're under load.The open air burning temperature of jet fuel A or A1 (the most common types of commercial jet fuels in the US) is about 2000 degrees Fahrenheit or less; most steels melt at about 2500 Fahrenheit, so if you just lay a beam on a puddle of burning fuel it's unlikely to melt. However, that much heat will cause the steel beams to expand, and if they're bolted together that will disrupt the stability of a structure... in addition to the softening (structural steel loses about 50% of its strength at as low as 1100 degrees, and over 1800 degrees the figure is closer to 90%).Also, in a forced air draft jet fuel burns considerably hotter than it does if it's just sitting there in still air. Under optimal conditions ... such as those found in a jet engine ... jet fuel may burn at closer to 4000 degrees.


Does every solid melt?

No, some burn or decompose before they get hot enough to melt.


Will jet fuel melt high grade steel?

Jet fuel burns at a maximum temperature of around 980 to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (527 to 815 degrees Celsius) in open air, which is not hot enough to melt high-grade steel, which has a melting point of approximately 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit (1,370 degrees Celsius) or higher. However, the heat from jet fuel can weaken steel structures, reducing their strength and integrity. This weakening can lead to structural failure, even if the steel does not melt.


Can steel be melted in a coal forge?

No, a forge is not hot enough to actually melt steel. However it is hot enough to make steel pliable .
