Not sure but I think a photo in this article (link below) shows that very thing... or if not melted then certainly able to clog the cooling holes?
Yes those pictures have been posted many times within this thread. They closely match the known severe events affecting engines.

The discussion just above had to do with VA melting inside the turbine blades if the cooling air is hot enough.

as always follow you FCOMs, it's easier to change those than to convince all pilots of the finer points
