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.

The melting point of steel can vary depending on the composition of the steel, but generally it is around 1370-1500 degrees Celsius (2500-2700 degrees Fahrenheit).

It depends on the type of steel. Steel is not one particular thing, there are different steels for different purposes.

Between 1100 - 1300 ºC

Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500°F). this varies as steel is a alloy of iron and carbon, so it depends on the make-up of the alloy.

This depends upon the specific alloy. But normally steel melts at 1370 oC or 2500o F.

Stainless steel melts at 2750 Fahrenheit. Stainless steel is also known as inox steel and has a minimum of 10. 5 percent chromium content.
