overheated disc rotors

overheated disc rotors
a friend of mine had a pair of slotted rotors (DBA 4000 series). His front brakes seized so on the way home, he traveled with the front brakes locked. As a result, the three thermo-graphic heat paint stripes (Green, Orange, & Red) turned to white, meaning the temperatures reached or exceeded 630 deg C / 1166 deg F.
my question now is would it still be safe to continue using the rotors? The brake pads have been replaced already.
Thanks!

Me I myself would of changed all the front brake parts pretty much to me new pads new rotors
Depending just how they were cooled if they just were air cooled that little amount of heat would not effect the temper.Now if they were sprayed with the hose different story.
It is how things are quenched that effects the temper.
but would most likely have warped them so bad the shaking would bounce the coffee out of a 1/4 full coffee mug
