not all firebenders are strong enough or capable of creating fire hot enough to melt steel. infact there are only a few because steel burns at a very high temperature which can usually only be melted by blue flames (you should brush up on your chemestry classes), waterbenders can be prevented from bending by locking up their arms and legs since they need them to control water, earthbenders can be kept away from any earth substances by being suspended in midair or kept in prisons underwater, airbenders are pretty much the same as waterbenders except they need to be deprived of large sources of air because they can airbend with their mouths, or they could just have their mouths sealed shut or blocked off with a special type of mask
