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.
Depends on the metal, but for steel it is hot enough to melt the steel- and steel melts at 2600-2800 degrees F.
Jet fuel burns at around 800-1500 degrees Fahrenheit, which is not hot enough to melt steel. However, it can weaken steel structures by causing them to lose their structural integrity and strength.
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.
Stainless steel melts at a temperature of about 2,500-2,750 degrees Fahrenheit (1,371-1,510 degrees Celsius). The time it takes to melt depends on the amount of heat applied, but generally stainless steel will melt relatively quickly once it reaches its melting point due to its high melting temperature.
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.
The temperature needed to melt rocks can vary depending on the type of rock. Generally, igneous rocks (e.g. basalt) melt at temperatures around 1000-1200 degrees Celsius, while metamorphic rocks (e.g. marble) can melt at lower temperatures around 800-1000 degrees Celsius.
The specific temperature at which steel breaks down can vary depending on the type of steel and its composition. Generally, steel begins to soften significantly and lose its strength at temperatures above 800°C (1472°F). At even higher temperatures, typically above 1000°C (1832°F), steel may undergo further degradation and ultimately melt.
1943 cents were made of zinc-coated steel. If you melt it, you'd get less than a penny's worth of metal, even if you could sell such a small quantity.
