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.
