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.
