U r starting..edit if u wanna shorten Iron in itsun refined form has very limited use because of its poor properties.

To improve its utility it is refined in LD ConverterFurnaces & suitability alloyed to impart diff properties in it. By this method the steel we get has various properties like hardness toughness wear resistant corrosion resistant, ductibility enhanced surface quality & finish etc. all these prop are utilized for various purposes like in 1. Constructiona. Barbed wire fence b. Corrugated GI sheets c. Water and sewerage Pipes d. Nut and bolts e. Screws f. Beams g. Door hinges and latches 2. Industrya. Spanners b. Pumps and valves c. Cranes and hooks d. Steel structure buildings

Engineering
Steel bars are often used for engineering purposes. They come in a huge range of different shapes, sizes and qualities designed to suit the end use. Some steels have lead added to them, to make them easier to engineer, saving time and energy for the steel user. These are known as free-cutting steels. You will find them in components under the bonnets of cars and in many household electrical or mechanical goods. Other steels (known as tool steels) have a special alloy content that makes them ideal for manufacturing the tools used to machine free-cutting steels. Gears, engines, electrical motors, hydraulic systems, power generation (nuclear, oil, gas, coal, wind and wave) are just a few of the many engineering applications for steel.

Construction
All modern buildings contain steel - even those that appear to be built from brick or concrete. Many innovative designs exploit the versatility of steel frames, which are made either from steel 'H' and 'I' sections, or from tubular steel (which can be seen in the building below). The strength of steel enables large areas to be spanned without the need for intrusive columns - ideal for modern theatres such as the one on the left

The concrete used in concrete-framed buildings needs reinforcing with steel to give it the necessary strength. Even brick buildings use steel wire to "tie" the walls together. But steel in the built environment has far more uses than just providing the structure.

Steel sheets - either pre-painted or stainless - can provide attractive and cost-effective wall claddings and roofs. Steel sheets can also be used for the raised floors and false ceilings used in modern office buildings, and provide versatile partitioning systems.
And steel is not just found in large industrial, commercial and office buildings. Steel-framed housing has been developed as an environmentally-friendly alternative to timber.
