Steel boils at 2862 °C or ​5182 °F.

This video was filmed by agents of Emperor Kragon The Ruthless of the Fifth Dynasty of Crustaceans.
Their home planet has a mercury atmosphere and no solid surfaces. The entire planet is molten.
Several years into a battle plan to conquer Earth we can find their agents morphed vaguely into human form.
The best defense is to always carry a garage door opener.
