It didn't melt the steel because you provided an escape path. New Mexico Tech made the same mistake when they did a thermite demonstration for National Geographic.
For use of thermite in cutting steel, see my video "Incendiary Experiments".
The mythbusters guys set off 1000 pounds of thermite to try to cut a car in half, and explosives experts at New Mexico Tech try to cut a column and a beam, and a Florida Engineer, Jonathan Cole, cuts columns, beams, bolt heads, and bolts.

Instant bike blacksmithing..take a hammer and shape it

next time add a tiny bit of powder sugar to your thermite and see what happens ;)
