1) The nickel alloy materials using on the hot section of a jet engine can withstand temperatures of up to 1100 °C (2012 °F or 1373 K) if you add a ceramic coating that number goes up to 1300 °C (2372 °F or 1573 K).

(a) New-age power plants are often times forced to limit hot reservoir temperatures in steam engines to ~280 deg C due to the lack of sufficient heat-resistant materials.
