Look at the speed of rise when it reached 1300°C. It is just not like as it will stop at 1301°C The event was very strong. Chromel (Ni80%, Cr20%) melts at 1420°C.

The temperature of T2 increased far above 1400°C. How do you know that? The line is cut off at 1300°C. There is no telling how much higher it went. I do not think the thermocouple would be destroyed if it went only a little above the maximum temperature for K-type thermocouples (1372°C). - Jed
