Re: That's quite hot
Because there are some very smart people about, it's not just about melting points of metals.
Those clever people over at the Rolls-Royce Engine Division run blades in their Trent engines in temps above the nominal melting points of the materials, by a combination of fins/cooling holes in the blades themselves. The alloys they use are apparently a closely-held secret as well.
