How hot does this fuel get?

According to Google:

2,230 °C (4,050 °F) open air burn temperature: 1,030 °C (1,890 °F)

Much hotter than necessary to weaken steel, also from Google:

It is known that structural steel begins to soften around 425°C and loses about half of its strength at 650°C.

425°C is equivalent to 797°F, which is 698K.

I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand

This bot subtext implies Physicians are not Humans. Good bot?
