You require a lot of heat and a vessel (usually ceramic) that can withstand the heat.
You'll also require some kind of protective gear, usually a robot, that can withstand the high temperatures.

Steel is an alloy, not a purified metal; but sometimes the excess of phosphorous, sulfur, carbon etc. in the melt need to be deleted.
Yes, iron and coal are used to make steel. Iron is the primary raw material for steel production, while coal is used as a source of carbon in the steelmaking process to remove impurities and control the carbon content in the final steel product.
The melting point really depends on the type of steel. But no type of steel would usually melt at 1000 degrees (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
which chemical is used to melt the iron
It can heat it enough to weaken it, but it won't melt it.
All-Steel Equipment Company was created in 1912.
A steel or iron works, where they melt or cast steel or iron - metals
Stainless steel melts at a temperature of about 2,500-2,750 degrees Fahrenheit (1,371-1,510 degrees Celsius). The time it takes to melt depends on the amount of heat applied, but generally stainless steel will melt relatively quickly once it reaches its melting point due to its high melting temperature.
The amount of energy needed to melt steel is approximately 1,650-1,800 kWh per metric ton, depending on the type of steel and the specific melting process used.
On 1375 °C.
There is no inherent property of steel that causes it to melt ice. Ice will melt if it comes in contact with something that is warm enough to melt it, regardless of what it is made of. One possible advantage that steel has is that, like any metal, it is a good conductor of heat. This would allow it to transfer heat more quickly than a nonmetallic substance.
