I have worked with various metals, and I know for a fact that metal does not need to be at melting temp to make it pliable. You put a torch on a half inch peice of steel and, you can bend it by hand (not your actual hand, but with a couple crescent wrenchs) pretty easily. Add a hammer and anvil to that, and you can even make horseshoes.
Even at half the temp of melting point I think steel would lose alot of it's integrity.
