Metallurgy Interview Question:

What is the melting point of E70 steel, 304,308,316 stainless steels? In addition, what is the hottest part of the flame in a fire?

You may find the melting range of some frequently used stainless steels below. Steel is an alloy and instead of a unique melting point, has a melting range, which is the range in which under equilibrium conditions, liquid, and solid phases coexist.

304: 1400-1450 (oC)

308: 1400-1420 (oC)

316: 1375-1400 (oC)
