To calculate the amount of BTUs required to melt 1 ton (2000 pounds) of steel in 1 hour, we need to consider the specific heat capacity of steel, which is approximately 0.11 BTU/lb°F. The melting point of steel is around 2500°F. Assuming the steel starts at room temperature (70°F), it would take approximately 2,200,000 BTUs to melt 1 ton of steel in 1 hour [(2500°F - 70°F) * 2000 lbs * 0.11 BTU/lb°F].

How long does it take for stainless steel to melt?

To know how fast this will melt you need to know the amount of stainless steel and the temperature of the stainless steel at the beginning. Then using the formulas of energy needed to heat it (Cp, I think) and melt it (enthalpy) you can calculate when it will melt.
