AUG 15, 2023Does steel really melt in such a way in car accidents? I’m interested in hearing what your thoughts are.”
The web says steel melts at 2500 degrees (all degrees in my post are Fahrenheit).
I mentioned the Paradise fire in California previously - some thought the circumstances were suspicious.
Some of the photos coming out of that fire showed what appeared to be a silvery stream of molten metal that had flowed out from the melted engine block of the car and then hardened as it cooled. I hadn't seen that before. I just looked it up again for the melt rates for engine blocks again. For comparison I'd read wind whipped fires can reach 1500 degrees, but I don't know the temp of the MAUI fire.
Internetz sez engine blocks are typically cast iron (one piece iron) and those can melt at 2200 degrees (cast iron) to 2400 degrees (iron).
Engine blocks which are aluminum alloys can melt at 1200 degrees.
I don't know why pics of melted blocks were new to those of us following Paradise fire back then, if it's a common occurrence. But once people started talking about anomalies at the Paradise fire, suddenly it was OF COURSE ENGINES MELT LIKE THAT! ALL THE TIME!
It seems like the Paradise fire burned incredibly fast, consuming buildings and burning completely out - possibly too fast to raise the temperature of the engine block to melting point. The engine is initially shielded by the car frame/hood etc. A longer burning fire would have more time I suppose.
So engine melt is possible but it depends on what it is made of, likely depends on how long/close the exposure to heat etc.
PS: Just found a link to an article about a wildfire melting an engine out of a truck. This example is from Oregon, in 2020, and I don't know the details ('normal' fire or suspicious fire). Example of wildfire burning an engine
Imgur.com video clip titled "Black Market Slave Trade in Africa". Here's a gif showing a few seconds of the longer/better quality video clip. They look like they are in bags like the other gif I posted which purported to show women transporting children in bags to sell them (trafficking).

Most modern engines have aluminum bolt on components and cylinder heads. Most transmissions are aluminum or aluminum/magnesium alloy.
The approximate ignition point of Aluminum is 1200°F to 1380°F depending on the Aluminum’s purity and amount of oxygen present in the air.
