Apex & Side Seals

What kind of Temperatures do Apex and Side seals see? Does anyone have a Print or the specs on apex and/or side seals?

Why Apex and side seals? Why not Apex and Corner seals since side seals rarely fail?

Either way, they should endure at least 900 C...

900 C seems a bit high thats 1652 F , The melting Point of steal is ~1370 F so I think your engine as well as the seals would be shot at this point. Any one else know the temperatures the Apex seals see during operation.

If you must know I had an Idea for aftermarket seals, but i need operating conditions + The specs to determine manufacturing feasability.
