Hi,

By 1200 C, almost all rocks are molten. Olivine, pyroxene,
and Ca-rich plagioclase at 1000 C. Ca/Na plagioclase at
800 C. and Na-plagioclase at 600 C. Iron, however, does
not melt unit 1538 C. and Fe-Ni-Cr alloys at still higher
temperatures. The temperature of high velocity ablative
plasma easily reaches and far exceeds these temperatures.
