Ever seen an electric stove element? You can have a big heavy pot of stew up there and it doesn't crash down. The thing is glowing red, it's more than 3/4 of the way to melting into a blob and yet still retains most of it's strength?
Turbo charger exhausts can glow red and be much closer to melting yet still hold up a 75 lb turbo and not bend.
I believe you have steel confused with butter.

I believe you have low-grade steel confused with high-grade structural steel. They're made in different ways and designed to do different things. A stell pot won't hold up a building, and structural steel doesn't conduct heat as efficiently.
Try again.
