Again:
Aluminum doesnt burn, it melts. Ditto for steel which may experience a heat transfer to something flammable if it has enough surface to oxidise that rapidly.
Your point as contrary to your previous statements:
"Additionally, many seem to ignore, aluminum is quite flammable if the needed temp it is exposed to can be reached,"
