Wrong, wrong, wrong.. alloy melts at what 600 degrees, steel melts at 1200?
What i is sayin is that all you'll achieve is expanding the alloy inside the steel, if it were t'other way round then it would work.
Get down your local hardwear store and ask for caustic soda, make up a solution in a bucket/jar stick your fork steerer in and leave for a week, the solution will eat away the alloy, but not harm the steel.. bingo.
