I would swear I just answered this question last week.....
Understanding basic concepts will answer this question.
1. underbelly pans (reguardless of material) are mounted so they don't touch moving parts. engine is a 'moving part' ' tranny is a moving part, exhaust is a moving part
2. underbelly pans (reguardless of material) are mounted so they don't touch hot parts. engine is a 'hot part' ' tranny is a hot part, exhaust is a hot part
3. refer to previous bellypan threads for safe distance from hot objects.

So whether XXXXX can melt XXXX really is immaterial ....unless you don't follow the basic concepts.
