 The Steel

STEEL IS AN ALLOY OF IRON AND CARBON THAT IS WIDELY USED IN

CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER APPLICATIONS DUE TO ITS TOUGHNESS AND
TENSILE STRENGTH.
STEEL IS USED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, SUCH
AS BOLTS, NAILS, AND SCREWS.
 How steel is made

The technique of obtaining steel today includes various

metals and metalloids that form ferroalloys, which provide
hardness and resistance. Furthermore, the process
involves so-called secondary metallurgy. This second
stage gives it the chemical properties and the desired level
of inclusions and impurities.
 Steel Classification

Steel can be classified according to its

final mode of use:
 Cast steel. It is allowed to cool in a
mold.
 Forged steel. It is heated, shaped
and cooled in a forge.
 Rolled steel. It is made of more or
less thick and flat sheets.
 Steel properties

STEEL CAN BE WELDED VERY EASILY.

THE PROPERTIES OF STEEL VARY ACCORDING TO ITS COMPOSITION, THAT
IS, TO THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE ALLOYED INSIDE. THAT IS WHY IT IS
DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE ITS UNIVERSAL PROPERTIES.
