Jet fuel indeed doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel. Forging temperature, OTOH, no issue.

You don't understand, steel is either solid or melted. No in-between. No idea what you mean by forging temperature, swords for example are forged by pouring liquid steel to a form, it's in so many movies!

/s obviously.

Yeah let's ignore the fact that it loses 70% of its strength at like 800 F, that fact invalidates my meme catchphrase!
