It depends on what steel it is.

There is Carbon steel and stainless steel (And perhaps others, but these are the main divisions).

Carbon steel has a melting point of 1425-1540 degree centigrade (2600- 2800 degree Fahrenheit).

Stainless steel on the other hand has a melting point of about 1510 degree centigrade (2750 degree Fahrenheit).
== == Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500 °F). This varies depending on the specific steel alloy. The specific heat of steel varied from 420J/KG/Deg C at room temperature to 720J/KG/Deg C at 1535 deg C. This equates to a theoretical heat requirement of approximately 375KWh/mt to melt steel from room temperature. In practice, foundries use between 500 and 800 KWh /mt to raise steel to a little above its melting point of 1535deg C.

It depends on the type of steel. Steel is not one particular thing, there are different steels for different purposes.

Between 1100 - 1300 ºC

Steel often melts at around 1370 degrees C (2500°F). this varies as steel is a alloy of iron and carbon, so it depends on the make-up of the alloy.

This depends upon the specific alloy. But normally steel melts at 1370 oC or 2500o F.
