Melting temperatures:

Tungsten 6000 F - but steel ain't tungsten - 3350 C

Steel - 2000-3000 F- -that's 1100 to 1600 C
216.239.39.104.

Here:

types of steel
% OF STRENGTH AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

Temperature Mild Cold drawn High strength
(degree C) Steel prestressing alloy bars
20 100 100 100
100 102 97 98
200 115 94 102
300 112 80 97
400 82 55 82
500 55 34 60
600 30 16 38
700 20 8 20

So steel has lost 80% of its room temp strength by 700 c which is 1400 F which is less than the combuxtion temp of Kerosene.

So much for that theory.

You might find this useful. Go down to where the flame temp of kerosene and melting temp of etell are discussed.
216.239.51.104.

You'd think these dolts would learn not to get into specific details that can be disproven.

Also, it is not necessary to actually melt a material under compression to cause it to collapse. As its temp goes up, it weakens; at some point it collapses. Is a stick of
butter that's been out at room temp for a few hours as strong as one right out of the freezer?

Molybdenum is a metallic, silvery-white element, with an atomic number of 42. Its chemical symbol is Mo. Chemically, it is very stable, but it will react with acids. The
physical characteristic that makes molybdenum unique is that it has a very high melting point, 4,730 degrees Fahrenheit. This is
2,000 degrees higher than the melting point of steel. It is 1,000 degrees higher than the melting temperature of most rocks. It has the fifth highest melting point of all of the
elements.

Doubtful I will be able to get involved in this. Go ahead and use this.

I put "melting temperature steel" into google to get this. Also might try "combustion flame temperature kerosene jet fuel"
