There is no definitive answer to this. It is determined by the melting point of the metal. It is also determined by the purity of the metal. For example, Mercury has a melting point of -38.2 degrees Fahrenheit while Tungsten has a melting point of 6,170 degrees Fahrenheit.

Everything burns at 1600 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about how hot it gets when an atom bomb blows up. Molecules disassociate at about that temperature. That's why almost nothing was left standing at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because they all blew apart and were incinerated.

Depends on the metal really the melting point of metals used for knives and other tools ranges from 2500 degrees F to 3000 degrees F but you don't want to melt the metal so go for 1800 F to 2000 F maybe lower depending on the type of metal 1500 degrees F would allow you to shape wrought iron and cast iron.
