The big question: can the turbine cooling air temperature ever exceed the melting point of VA? If so, under what circumstances and where?

Anyone know this? I don't know and can't find any reference myself....
No doubt the answer will probably be yes, if
But it hasn't happened yet because the probability of the if factor and a high ash concentration hasn't come together.

I wonder if the if factor includes a meteorite strike at the same time
